Today I was thinking about some of the children in my class and how I love them. There is a little Tom Sawyer boy in particular. He has blonde hair, twinkling blue eyes, and freckles all over his nose and cheeks.
Sawyer is not a calm child, he reacts to situations with very strong emotions. He is loud, stubborn, and defensive. He gets distracted, complains about doing work, and pretends like he doesn't know how to do things.
But I love him.
He is a real boy, one of the true old-fashioned boy's boys of yester years.
Maybe you will understand better if I tell you some of his stories.
