Translating!

The thing that made me so happy today

was how many times I heard "Can you translate for me?" today,

and was able to do it to boot!

I am so thankful for the chance to go hang out with kids 

today! It proves to me over and over that

it is where I am suppose to be! Not in a classroom!

I am meant to be surrounded by young ones who need

someone to speak two languages! 

There was a little boy who was unaware of course that I spoke

Chinese and could understand what he was saying.

He was standing in front of me and two other foreign

women, critiquing our 'health' and weight. 

Picture a little boy, hands behind his back,pacing in front of us.

"You're ok. You don't need to loose weight." {looking at the lady next to me.

He then turns to me}

"You're fat. You need to loose weight!"

Me: "Yeah, I know!" 

The little boy became a bit shocked and frightened as he realized

I had understood and responded. He then regained his

footing and said again

"You should loose some weight, you are fat!"

So once again I said "Yes, I know. I am fat! I'm trying to loose weight.

I do exercises everyday to try to work on that! Thank you! I am 

trying, I will loose some more weight!"

That seemed to satisfy him and he went on his way.
