Are those your real eyes???

a few days ago I was sitting on my front porch when a few neighborhood kids walked past. They asked if we needed help with anything around the house. I said no but struck up a conversation with them. Tavell and Deon, both about 11 years old, were pretty cool kids, but there was one thing that amazed me. As tehy met the rest of my roomates they kept getting in real close and asking,"are those your real eyes?"
Most of my team has blue eyes. It amazed me that these boys had lived in an area that was so segregated for so long, that they had never seen blue eyes before except for colored contact lenses!
Since then I have met more of their friends and we've started a playin a little after school footbal in a vacant lot on my street.
Today I've recruited some kids to help clean the lot off. They seem to have no problem playing football in a small lot with tall weeds, giant holes and tons of empty wine and hennessy bottles. But today we're going to at least get rid of all the trash and glass. Don't think that this is some noble plan that I thought up to help the community, I didn't think to do it until yesterday when I got a nail stuck in my foot while completing a touchdown pass. But guess what....I still got the Touchdown!!!!!! Hope to up date with pictures of our clean up project soon!! God bless!
