lesly is in love again.

Remember Lesly? She's the one who was in love with my brother just from the picture I have hanging in my classroom.

Well, Lesly has found love again. This semester Abundant Life has recruited a new teacher, Tad, or Mr. V, the apple of Lesly's eye. She was enamored the moment she met him. He visited my class the first afternoon he was on our campus, and Lesly ran up to him and said, "Do you have a girlfriend?" When his reply was "No," she immediately wrapped her arms around him.

Lesly made it very clear that she was crazy about Mr. V. I asked her, "What about my brother? I thought you were in love with him." Her explanation was very logical. "Well, your brother he is not here, and Mr. V, he is."

A couple days later, after she had recruited me to help her hunt down Mr. V and sat staring at her unaware love in the door of his empty classroom, I said to her, "Lesly, he's too old for you. You're not allowed to date until you're 18." With pure sincerity, she stopped me and said, "Miss, no! When my mother is born, my father he have 15 years." She went on to explain, "Mr. V only llevarme 13 years, so I have a chance!"
