Colorful Birthday

What is it about drawing on a forbidden surface that makes it so exciting? Is it the fact that we normally don't draw on it or is it the fact that we are allowed to break the rule that makes it so delightful? For its 41st birthday KDM, a non profit organization for street kids in Jakarta, let guests and children painted walls of their houses. It just brought out the kid in everyone! Especially the adults. It was written all over their faces. On some face it was literally painted. I repeatedly asked the person in charge before I painted because I just couldn't believe it. Really? I'm allowed to draw on those walls? Are you sure? She just grinned and gave me a brush. I felt giddy like a kid in a candy store.
