I noticed this little kid who seems to be very withdrawn and painfully shy.

I didn't like the way the other adults were treating him.

That's why I made it a point to 'warm up' to him.

Later, he walked my direction and SMILED.

W-O-W.

During break I asked, "Would you like my piece of cake?"

He looked at me cheekily and said, "No. I want a piece with cherry on top."

That was the longest answer that I've heard from him all day.
