Cute little dumplings

I have rarely seen kids so enthusiastic about a feed of dumplings.
Or so distressed at the realisation that we were out of light soya sauce.
Or so overjoyed at having dashed to the supermarket with Mum to buy one.
Or so triumphant at holding it like a trophy upon reentry into the Raheny cave.
Or so surprised and distressed at its explosion upon impact on the tiled floor.

Life is full of ups and downs.

And home-made dumplings.
