Jaba, we're not in America anymore...

So I guess you could call this my "Das not funny Friday" post. I haven't been an active participant in this, but i have some pretty hilarious stuff to share:

The other day I got COMPLETELY inside the passenger- side door, into the front seat with the door closed behind me before I ever realized that there was no steering wheel in front of me. Wow.

I felt so dumb that I just acted like i was messing with the CD player or something and moving some things out of the way in the floorboard.

SPE-SHUL, huh?

--------------------

I was washing dishes the other day whilst listening to my bday present from my in-laws. It's a little audiobook you might have heard of. It's call the Twilight series. (Stop judging me.) So as I was listening and washing, Thomas comes in to make himself some chai. I soon paused it b/c he was looking at me funny. He said "Are you listening to preaching?"

"Um... no Thomas. Not exactly."

"What is it?"

"Well, do you know what Vampires are?"

With a VERY puzzled look he says "No."

um.. k... think.... what now. "Well, they are make believe bat/humans that suck your blood and have fangs like this [gesturing with my upside down peace fingers coming from my mouth]. But these are good vampires. They don't hunt humans, just animals.... [trailing off as I start to giggle at how hilarious this is]..."

Thomas, even more puzzled "oh...oh...okay"

CT had a meeting the other day with Pastor Brian who runs Hope church where the boys' school is located. There is a Samaritans Purse (tiny) satellite office just next door. It's a fairly active place during the day. Well, when we built their school Hope said it was just fine for the boys to also bathe themselves as well as wash their clothes. Well Brian told him that the other day he was walking to the compound and there on the hill stood a group of BUTT NAKED boys just bathing out in the open. Brian just sunk his head and reprimanded them when he got there. They must take after their pseudo mother... a little too much. Sorry, but I laughed and so did Chris.

When the boys spent the night they helped Thomas kill about 50 chickens. They loved it. A little TOO much. After Thomas did the initial killing each one of the boys would carry it out and put it on the table outside the coup. Johnny said in swahili to one that was still twitching after it's neck was broken: "In the name of Jesus- Die!" CT was laughing and I didn't know why. (His swahili is much better than mine.) After he told me I couldn't help but snicker too. Is that sacrilegious or anything? We both tried to hide our faces so as not to encourage them all to

CT had to tell them "Do not punch, kick, or hit the chickens after they are dead. That is not biblical. It is dead."

I think I had more.... but i can't remember them!
