The Power of Children

I got to see my family this morning through the powers of the internet.  It is always exciting to see them, and always exciting to see my young nephew.  But surprising is to find a similar sense of joy when seeing my students after two weeks, to be really thrilled to see their young selves, their witty T-shirts, or shiny belts, or new toe nail polish; and excited to hear about the time they spent away.  Kids are just really wonderful.
