But the coolest thing of all was the kid on the right.
He, his brother on the left, and his teen-aged, provocatively dressed sister are living with their aunt and her white husband in London while their mother stays in Zambia.
I showed the young one this picture and he was so excited. He stood right up next to me with wide eyes so I asked him if he wanted to take some pictures. “Oh yes Please!” So I put the camera around his neck, set him on my lap to help him hold the thing, and he set off about 50 shots of his mom. He couldn’t get enough of taking pictures of his mom and then when it was time to leave he said “will you give me a hug?”. How sweet is That?
