Holding Hands

There is a school for kindergarten kids in front of my block, everyday when I walk past, I can see small children studying, playing in the classrooms..When it's playtime, their teachers will take them outside classroom and line them up before marching off to playground...

The same old tradition still holds when lining up is ......holding hands! Haha, still remember when I was their age, our teacher would always make us hold hands while lining up...and the rule was you needed to hold hands with the opposite gender... I was always made to stand in front cos of my height and I held hands with a boy which was among the shortest too..keke... Till now, these kindergarten kids are still doing the same things... mmm...

Maybe they want to make sure the kids stay together and won't get lost, or they want to promote healthy relationships by asking to hold hands with the opposite gender...haha... During that time, I felt weird initially when I was made to hold a boy's hands cos they were often sweaty..Haha...But it's sweet to see small innocent boys and girls holding hands (sometimes, I do see girls dragging their boy partners when the boy is walking too slow), and walking orderly to the playground..To them, holding hands is a symbol of friendship....

When people grow up, holding hands with the opposite gender means a relationship, a symbol of love...from friends to couple...You can stroll along the beach, saying nothing but just holding hands can make you feel warmth and at peace... However, does the meaning of holding hands diminish when you get older or after getting married? Rarely do I see old couples holding hands...

If you can still hold hands lovingly with your partner when you are both old, that will be sweet, dun you think so?
