I was walking back from my lunch break today and I came across a small troop of kids near the gate to our office.  Children often play with marbles in the shaded dirt next to our wall.  One of them tends to stand a good six or eight feet back and then shoots the marble at the other marbles on the ground.  It looks like a miniature version of the bocce game that we play at family gatherings and in the park with friends back home.  But today the kids were all lined up facing a leader who had them doing some “Karate Kid” style moves with their arms and legs.  It looked like a game of “simon says” in progress as I approached.  When I knocked on our gate, it took awhile for the guard to come and as I stood there I decided to mimic their moves.  Judging by their laughter, they got a big kick out of that.  Even the serious looking leader was cracking up.  I’m glad to know I’ve still got some good moves.
