Miss Independent

The ride said that children under the age of 4 had to be accompanied by an adult. I asked the operator if Savita could go by herself (not mentioning she's not 3 yet) and the operator said: 'sure.' Miss independent loved it of course, saying how it was really nice of the operator to help her on the horse.


Guam has a trolley system, which we used to get around and Savita wanted to climb in and out by herself of course. Without fail when the drivers would want to help her or pick her up, she'd tell them very resolutely, 'NO.' She even held up 10 or so people trying to get out because she was trying something new, getting down the stairs without holding onto the railing. It was so funny to see, her hands clenched in fists so she wouldn't be tempted to grab the railing. She's going to be a handful for whoever is going to marry her.
