Like I mentioned in my previous post, during my evening in Seattle with my Cos, I accompanied her to her weekly session where she volunteers as a mentor. My Cos' mentee is a young girl in sixth grade, and I took to her immediately.
"What's for homework today?" my Cos asked her.
"I have to draw a person and write a clue about them and you have to guess who I'm talking about," her mentee said.
"Okay go ahead."
The child had her head bent over her notebook for a few moments, assiduously drawing and describing her subject. "Okay ready!" she said and passed her notebook over to my Cos.
Here's what was on her notebook:
"I don't know her very well but she seems very nice and is very pretty"
My Cos pretended to scratch her head for a while and think about it. Finally she ventured a guess. "Erm, are you talking about Ficali here?"
Her mentee nodded, brimming over with pride at her drawing.
I glanced at the picture. "Hey, why are my arms and legs so skinny!" I said teasingly. But can you imagine how touched I felt?!
Later that evening when I called Delta, I relayed the incident to him. "Just remember, I'm very nice and very pretty," I mused, still thrilled to bits by the little girl's gesture.
