SPOONS, TOE, AND SUNGLASSES

Other than being schooled by them in soccer (football) one day, I hadn’t spent much time with the school age kids. But, yesterday Kesley and I went to the village to buy a few things and several of the kids came with us. Even if we couldn’t understand most of what they said, they were a lot of fun. Afterwards, we played the card game spoons (with rocks instead of spoons) and we have been playing all today too. Someone went through our bags and pulled out the cameras and sunglasses and they became the new favorite thing. Everyone wanted to take pictures and have their pictures taken (they took 93 pictures this afternoon until my battery finally died) and wear the sunglasses (they thought they were really funny). Jonas, a six-year-old, heard Kelsey say someone looked cool when they were wearing the glasses and so thought the sunglasses were called cool. So for the rest of the day, he kept asking to wear the cool. Haha, oh Jonas. Also, I got to try Toe for the first time. For those of you who don’t know, Toe is pretty much all they eat here. I was nervous to try it but it actually was pretty good. Anyway it's late here so I should go to bed. Bon nuit!
