miyo's boy (don't be jealous joe)

Yesterday there were some workers doing a repair on the roof next door. There was a little boy with them just walking around (three-ish). So I went over there after putting Murphy on the bus and told them that, as they could see from the roof: we have a swing set and trampoline in our backyard and he could play where they could see him. Miyo loved him, she was so excited to have a kid to play with that was her size. After a bit he went back over and she ran to me and asked, "Where's my nother one?"

The little boy was very shy and could not speak English. I asked him what his name was and he shrugged his shoulders. So I tried to get him to tell me by asking him, "Is your name... Xavier? ...Joaquin?... Bob?..." (if you aren't family, you might not notice that the first two are my cousins' names). He just laughed each time and shook his head no. When I talked to his dad he told me his name was Tony. So I looked at him and said, "Is your name Tony?" and he just laughed. He was so cute, the cutest little dimples. Anyway, I wasn't sure if he was having any fun with us, until it was time to leave. His dad came over and said it was time to go and reached for his hand. He moved away and hid his hand behind his back and said, "no". I was happy to know that he enjoyed himself. Miyo did not like that he had to go, but it was a good morning.
