When I picked Amiri up at school this afternoon, his teacher told me that he's been doing well lately, being very friendly and social with the other kids.  I said, 'I'm glad to hear that.  I know he likes it here.  And he can be standoffish at first, so I'm glad he's joining in now.'

She nodded and we both looked fondly at the little guy for a second.  She started to say something, then paused, and then just said it.  'He really like to play with the girls, in particular.  He runs around with them and tries to make them laugh.'  Which made me laugh, because I know how that little guy is... he loves him some ladies, all right...  and she admitted that she and the other teachers had fun watching him at his games today, calling him the 'class flirt'.

I'll always remember him at the restaurant in Gaylord when he was not too much older than Arram, 'flirting' with the waitress. Remember?
