I was asked a few days ago to draw on the faces of a handful of rowdy 8 year old girls tonight at a birthday party. The pilot for SP has a lovely and hilarious little family, which included a daughter who was the center of attention this evening... and I got the privilege of drawing a rainbow and a butterfly on her face.
Before she chose what she wanted though, her older sister (age 11) came up and announced that I shouldn't draw anything on her little sister but instead write out Abraham Lincolns entire Gettysburg address on the side of her face. She was dead serious. I laughed very hard. Who says that?
Kids.
This morning I drove out about 2 hours into the wilderness of Africa with Jones to see my first real tribal village. We went and checked on a project j had been doing there with them. Life here is so incredibly different then life at home. That's the only way I know how to articulate what I am seeing and feeling about things here at this point. Its overwhelming.
hilarious. I want to be friends with the Lincoln fan ... badly. And I miss you honeybuns.

ReplyDeleteI bet she was so offended when you laughed at her proposition, as well. Some American you are. I'm sure she thinks we all love the Constitution and recite it daily.
Wishing I could squeeze the overwhelmedness right out of you in a huge hug.
PS. Do you get notifications when people comment on your blog posts? I hope my words aren't being lost in an unread void (just because you don't have a problem with that doesn't mean I'm the same).
no i see that i have them and appreciate you giving them!!
