On Sunday afternoon, some of the other girls and I went down to the harbor to swim/wade/take pictures. There were a lot of young kids with their parents.
A little boy was wading near where I was wading. "Why is it so sharp?" he asked, probably rhetorically.
"I think it's because of all the shells stuck on the rocks," I said. The ground below the waves was sharp indeed; we had decided to leave our shoes on, and I had cut my finger on a shell.
He looked at me with some interest. "You from the US?"
"Yup," I told him. "Where are you from?"
"Singapore," he said.
He lives in Hong Kong, but it sounded like they moved here from Singapore.
Anyway -- not a very important interaction, but it was fun. I love how kids are so much readier to ask random questions.
