Kids

Today Campus was raided by over a hundred little kids. They swarmed into the tennis court during my afternoon class and all gathered in the shade to watch a punch and judy show that, from what I gathered, was meant to teach them English. As I watched after class, the puppet was trying to count to ten in English but would always revert into Arabic until the kids, counting along with him would help out. They proceeded to sing songs together and generally goof off. Something I have noticed here is that children are the same everywhere in the world. They think alike and find the same things interesting and fun. I wonder, when does that begin to change as the different cultures really take root?
