Ha! That little girl sounds interesting. Maybe this type of curiosity is more common than we think. I know when my son went into my neighbor's house (something we've only done once over the years; we are more the talk-in-the-driveway type of neighbors) he flopped right down on his couch. This was out of character for my shy kid, but I think that foreign couch was just too intriguing not to test out.
I feel the pull to look out my door too - just to observe. Maybe the mind seeks out picture frames to put our perspective into :)
Your son sounds like a real sweetheart. I love kids with character.
I like how you worded that about perspective and a possible need to frame those thoughts.
