Day 348
“That’s his desk.
Right there!” A. says and points to his friend’s pint-sized table and
chair. “I’m going to leave him a
note. To find when he comes to
school tomorrow.”
“Go for it,” I say. I think it’s a great idea. Who doesn’t want a nice note to start your day?
I love little kid notes: I like you.
You’re nice. I’m glad
you’re my friend. They cut to the
chase. Strip everything down to
the basics.
What would happen if adults started leaving notes for
friends? At work, I imagine Chaz
slipping a torn piece of computer paper under the office adjacent to his: Let’s
have coffee. Or me handing a card
to a mom who I don’t know well but think we could have bunches in common: Let’s
be friends.
Ah, if life were that simple.
“Done,” A. says.
“High five!” I raise my hand and wait for the slap of palm
hitting palm.
“You know it.” A. smiles and struts to the hallway.
I like that idea...adults leaving notes for their friends...how about a card in the mail? I think I will do that!
