Simon Makes Friends

I am amazed at the ease at which Simon makes friends. With his blond hair he certainly stands out.  And his smile seems to win folks over with no trouble at all.

I appreciate the time he stopped to chat with an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair at the airport and I was impressed when a complete stranger recently handed over her dog so he could walk it. 

It was great to hear from Alison how he met a boy close to his age at the playground and they had a good time playing together. 

 But recently at the Lima airport, Simon found a particularly good friend.  He saw a little girl, about his age and ran up to her and stared (his typical approach).  Soon they were crawling on the ground and giggling together. 

But heads did turn when the little girl took Simon with both hands and kissed him on the mouth - - repeatedly.  Simon didn’t seem to mind a bit.  In fact, afterwards he ran in circles laughing.
