Earliest political memory #43

I was about 12 and went with my parents and brother on an outing at a suburb close to Athens (Kifisia or Penteli). My parent took a walk to the forest and me with my brother went to an orphan home that had basketball courts. We were playing with the children that were living there and at a point they had an arguement about the game and started a small fight.
After they stopped the fight we continued playing. When my parents returned and we had to go one of the children told me '' dont pay attention to our fight come back next week to play together again''.
I was so touched by these words that I was asking my parents to go back for several weekends and still remember this story till today. i think that was my first political memory!
