Gianni

Gianni is only seven and his mind seems so mature, doesn't he amaze everyone when he talks and smiles? We all thought that kids had a different nature: to play baseball and ride their sturdy Turtle bikes! How can a kid with gorgeous and innocent eyes not make us laugh when he spills a glass of hot chocolate on the carpet and whispers, " Sorry " twice? He surely deserves a big hug not loud words that irritate! Gianni is learning new skills daily: like walking as his proud dad, imitation or not, it's spontaneous and very comical; woe to his mom if she makes fun of him by shaking her head! Ah! He thinks is a grown man and can climb a wall! Yesterday's kids weren't that smart, they spent more time playing with toys... blame technology for their knowledge or us for being fashionable and sophisticate; we have everything at our command, but children like Gianni have become boys: soon they'll be men with ingenious ideas to build a world that we can only imitate!
