To Flirt

This may not be news to you, but flirting is universal. It's a fact! There are words in every language to express interest or affection, but one rarely needs them. A look in the eye speaks ten times louder, I'm convinced. You should have seen the kids in the village we worked in this weekend! The three young girls, about seventeen years old, that helped us make mud all day confirmed the power of a look, even if you don't believe in showers and are covered in mud. It was hilarious to watch them, and kinda cute, as from a very early age both boys and girls participate in every community activity. We had a blast watching them throw mud at and play with the boys standing on the walls building the roof of the kindergarten we were working on. There are just some things that do not change from culture to culture. 
It was hilarious, and this is a random post but I just had to write about it a little.
