The real and present makes me want to cry sometimes too

My nieces are daycared in my place of employment so sometimes I see them as they are walked about the building or the grounds. Today was a day when I saw the younger one whose thoughts were nowhere in the vicinity of the concrete sidewalk she walking on.

I partially stepped in front of her but still she was in a daze of thought so I stooped a bit and called her name. She was shocked into the real and present and almost started to cry.

I'm a great uncle.

I'm glad her handlers know me
