My husband and I were walking by the river, and we saw from far away the son of the young couple who sold us our house; he’s a pretty wild 5-year-old whom my husband adores because, having been a wild kid himself,  he identifies with him. As a “Hello,” my husband started jumping and yelling, to my great embarrassment and to the utter amazement of another 5-year old, who was sedately walking with his mother near us. When the dance was over, the second kid looked at my husband and asked him, “Now, can you do it again, for me?” What a lesson! It was the same dance and shouting, but it was “For him.” Isn’t that what we all yearn for?
