All good things come to an end. Today I am going to leave the kids. Being with the kids for two weeks, we have built up good friendship. To be honest, I saw a lot of good points from them. They are always obedience. If you asked them to stop playing video games, they will stop immediately. They take care of each other all the time. Whenever you took them out to play, they always stay together. They are very thoughtful. When you carried too many stuff, they will help you with it. They never pull something behind people’s back. I like them so much.
