We were walking to the local sprinklers as a group when Joshua, in his rush to get to the front of the line because he was SO excited about the sprinklers, accidentally pushed Tamsen. As a result, she tripped and began crying about how Josh had hurt her. So I pulled Josh aside and asked Josh about what he had done, and what he could do to rectify the situation. So he goes over to Tamsen and apologizes for pushing her. He takes my right hand, she takes my left hand, we continue walking towards the sprinklers in peace. I'm thinking this has worked out really well. Then, to my surprise, Joshua lets go of my hand and plucks a red flower from the grass on the side of the road. He walks over to Tamsen, hands her the flower, and says, "I'm really sorry I pushed you Tamsen. Here's a flower." He then proceeded to pick her flowers all the way to the sprinklers and give them to her.
This kid is totally going to be ladies man.
I am a rising junior at Boston College, spending my summer in Boston working at the B-SAFE summer camp at Saint Stephen's Parish in the South End of Boston. Since this is the first time I have spent part of my summer away from home, I decided that keeping a blog would be the best way to remember my experience, as well as give my family and friends at home insight into my life here in Beantown. Enjoy!
