The "girl who lives in a box"

I walked out of the school room the other day and heard a little giggle. I looked over to see where it was coming from. "Yaneli? What are you doing?!?" She pranced around a cardboard box and in a sing-song voice said, "Look, I am a girl who lives on the street, in a box!" Yaneli spent the rest of the afternoon begging for things from anyone on campus, then she gave it all away. I received a half-used bottle of white-out from her productive begging.




I was thinking back to my make believe games and although I can vividly remember playing "school," "library" and "Dr." but I don't think I ever played "beggar." :)

Isn't she precious? Ames, how old were you when you even saw a beggar for the first time?
