little milestones

i was talking to a little baby three year old kid today, while i was waiting for babs at the eye clinic. waiting rooms can be so weird, when you really think about it! a room for waiting! i couldnt believe it, but then again, i guess i could. anyway this little guy was talking to me, and then he sprinted away to chase after someone who was probably his brother. and then he came back! and showed me his plastic tiger named rudy. and i told him 'i walk how you run.' and i think he knew what i meant. it's a strange connection between us, the old and the very small.
