Yucky stick soup

Two boys just made me some "yucky stick soup". They came to me with leaf spoons and giant smiles. Their sweaty hair matted to their foreheads and dirt hanging off their long eyelashes. The happiness glowing in their eyes could not be missed - almost mesmerizing. I smiled big too - as I let their contagious energy seep into my heart. It was the best soup I had ever tasted - will keep me full for days.
