Bea and I went running today across the street at the track. Thirty or so kids were also using the track, having races for P.E., so Bea and I avoided that part of the track.
After a while, the kids lined up on both sides of the track and started clapping in unison and chanting. I thought it was "Slo-ba-dan" at first, to which, huh? Then I realized it was "sa-bach-ka"- "doggie." And they were clapping for Bea to run between all of them to finish the race. So we ran down the track and across the finish line and they all cheered.
twenty-something years of "what have you been up to?"
