girl with broom

it's not easy getting a picture of k these days, the main reason being that she doesn't want me taking pictures of her and looks with disdain and annoyance whenever i come around with my camera. nevertheless, being a mom, i am quite intrepid when necessary and can move quickly myself if the situation calls for it. i was able to snap a few photos of her after the show, and after observing them i was struck by her similarity to her nonno: both of them move faster than a speeding bullet, both carry various oddments in their back pockets and hang essential tools from their belt loops, and both are most happiest when working on an important task at which only they (really!) excel (and are in a position to tell everyone else what to do), while simultaneously laughing with friends.
