Library

Randall enjoys going to the library. Everytime he's there, he will hum his song and walk ahead, straight into the children's section where his shelves of toddler books are placed. Last Saturday, as he was walking in the children's section, he bumped into this malay boy of the same height. His hands were at his waist, chest out and his chin tilted up, looking and behaving very challengingly at Randall. Being a protective mum myself, I hurried towards them, just in case he started hitting my boy. But Randall just looked at him in amazement, with the what-are-you-trying-to-do look. They stood very closely, staring at each other for a good 10 sec. No action, no talk, nothing. Then the boy decided to move backwards, while Randall just stood in his spot, swinging his hands, in his extremely good mood and oblivious to the "danger" he was facing. At this point, I quickly pulled Randall away. Sometimes I just hope that Randall knows how to protect himself in circumstances like this. But then again, if not for his amiable approach (to anyone other than his family, that is), I think they might have started fighting already. :P
