Photo Essay: Schoolyard Tossles

While in the village of Ibeju-Lekki (Nigeria) doing some outreach work, I stumbled upon the scene below of two little boys scuffling in a school yard that took me right back to my own less-than-stellar childhood fights. After assessing that it was nothing more than friendly wrestling similar to puppies or kittens, I picked up my camera and started snapping…

Until they noticed me snapping away and instantly turned into model kids once more…
