One asked if I was going to take their pictrure, I really didn&#8217;t know what to say, its not often you get asked to take a stranger&#8217;s picture, especially a child&#8217;s in London. I said &#8220;no&#8221; because that seemed to be the right answer. I did ask why I would, the same boy replied that a couple of other people, another American, and someone else, had already taken their picture. I protested saying that I wasn&#8217;t an American. I received a puzzled look , I turned around to show them the Canadian flag on my backpack. Canada the said together, I smiled and offered each of them a flag pin.<\/p>\n<p>We talked for a couple of minutes, and with the help of their chaperone they were urged to get back to work. Before I could go, again I was asked to take their picture, this time I couldn&#8217;t resist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, not really.
