at work during rest time (for the kids, not us unfortunately) i was sitting near one of the boys that is pretty "macho" and in some ways on a s0cial level he fits in more with older boys. the sun came out during rest time after a pretty heavy downpour and as the sky got bright a stream of light came through a crack between 2 of the blinds and lit up all the dust floating around in the air along that stream of light (it was kinda gross how much dust was floating in the air considering nobody had been moving much for the last 20 or 30 minutes and it was still all floating around). the boy near me turned to me and asked "what is that?" while trying to catch the dust in the sunlight. my response was "just dust. put your hands down and let your body rest a bit." he kind of shocked me with what he asked next "fairies?" it was kinda cute--especially coming from him. i ended up spending most of the next 10 minutes watching the "fairies" sparkle in the stream of light with him.
