Khalil, the little adult

Khalil has been through more than anyone should have to go through, all at the tender age of 10.

He lived in New Orleans, and had to be evacuated when Katrina hit. His family went to the Superdome, and when there, he became separated from his parents. All this while under going treatments for cancer.

He has since moved to Tulsa, and his family decided to stay there for a year before deciding whether or not to move back to New Orleans.

And DANG is this kid a cutie!

Khalil told me in the airport (his parents drove him to St. Louis to travel with me) that his is 200 years old. I asked how he managed to stay so young looking, and he informed me that he uses foot cream on his face, but not just any foot cream. It has to have mint in it. He kept me in stitches.

He was trying to convinced some of the adults on the trip that 50 Cent is his uncle. One of the nurses asked if went to visit his "uncle" in the hospital when he was shot.
Yes, he had.
Did he bring flowers to the hospital?
No. In the 'hood you bring 40s and blunts, not flowers.

It was funny, but very disturbing.
