I took Troy to Stonebriar Centre again today. And of course he wanted to go to the play area. As I sat there watching him playing tag with a little Indian girl, I noticed several other similar games going on around the play area. Hispanic girls playing with white girls. Indian girls playing with white boys. Black girls playing with Korean boys. Muslim boys playing with Christian boys. Young kids playing with old kids. I realized that the play area transcends age, culture, gender, religion, and even language. It doesn’t matter where you come from or even if you can communicate with each other. Playing is universal, and kids don’t really care about that stuff. We could learn a lot from children. They just see people as people and don’t get hung up on differences or prejudices.
