Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 31 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 32 outside and I had no plans to 33 to be in the bright sun. She 34 wanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passersby for free.

I feel blessed by being 50 by such wonderful and loving souls.
