 be curious, not judgmental
When Zander appeared as the last person to enter the room, Soph gave him a big ol' grin and patted the spot next to her on the couch welcomingly - and when he came over and joined her, she scooted up a little closer to him, their shoulders touching, and she got her materials for class settled on her lap, the big, goofy grin never leaving her face.
Life couldn't have been better with him by her side.
Attentive as Moxley began class, Soph gave a soft, pensive hum at all the pastime levels on the board. Those all made a lot of sense and she started thinking about what hobbies she had that fulfilled all three of those requirements... but then a question was posed, and Soph's hand instantly shot up in the air.
"Coloring, professor. Even for a kid with lots of energy, I think most people enjoy coloring in a coloring book, even if it's outside of the lines. It's something to do, something fun to do, and when you're finished, you have a finished artwork that gives that strong feeling of accomplishment. It's something concrete that we can be proud of, no matter how good the coloring is, 'cause it's just cool to turn a paper into a colorful masterpiece." Really, who didn't love coloring, especially as a child?
