Kids say the darndest things

Life after ringo is easier than most people thought it would be. Oh man, now there's Tag. Hi 5. pshhhh man, please. Tag was a game we played during first and second recess. And not to mention, the A+ program (For you kids who waited 3 hours after school finished because their parents couldn't pick them up immediately at 2:10). And whenever i think of Hi 5, i just wanna do a Saved by the Bell ending with a plastic bottle in hand. I dunno.



But this past Fourth of July was nothing but just seeing my niece. She had computer camp program at Kam. Flew from the Big Island to here, and spent a week, learning about the Aina, and malama 'ing the pono. And after the swimming in freshwater ponds and playing games that is only found , if you're visiting here, at the PCC, then she had to write it all down and make a report booklet about her experiences. And of course, "Good Times Together" by C&K was their 'graduation' song. Hahaha, how could i have NOT seen that coming?



It was one of the proud moments I have of her. I knew her and her brother and sister were smart, but this is exceptional. This is just impressive. I forget, she's not the baby I remember. Still a little girl, but a mind that's way past her class. It showed while all the kids took turns introducing themselves. She and just a handful of kids stood upright, faced everyone and did their thing. That girl is a speaker. Art in any form or way is her strength. It's her natural way to express.



B/c of ticket prices, her parents and sibs couldn't make it. So, being uncle, I was happy to be there representing the family. Sad thing is just, my dad was looking forward to that day. But, time and unforeseen occurrences befall us. It would've been icing on the cake for him to see how grown up she's gotten. But she made everyone proud, even though many were unable to be there. I'm proud having watch her grow up and as my niece.



Maika'i. HAHAHA
