Foul play

From church to the playground opposite, this section just having opened up and providing a bountiful of sensory experiences for kids which kept us occupied for 3 hours. Had to get over a very upsetting comment ("weirdo") from another kid on Reuben. She was old enough to not be so ignorant. If you have or are close to children, you can imagine how that comment would hurt, especially on top of knowing what Reuben has endured during his life and how he's come out bright and smiling. Life seems a permanent opportunity for education. Finished with Mandarin for dinner before walking back to the car. Walking towards us, two elegant figures, 50 years apart, who stopped to spend much time with us, entertained by Reuben's signing and hugs. Made up for the badness.

Would this make an ok Momentum? The ball is stationary (or is it stationery?) ;-)
