A Car Full of Kids

I am walking to class in the morning, and suddenly, I hear a kid call out to me, "Waiguoren (外國人; foreigner)!"

I look up, and I notice the kid in a car that's passing me. He's smiling at me, and I notice other kids in the car. When I give him a big smile back, all of them start smiling and waving at me.

They seem to be around seven or eight years-old. As they move away, I keep smiling and waving, and their smiles get farther and smaller, but I can tell they are still beaming.

A good way to start the day.
