pooped
Pooped on two pairs of pants today.
Every day, walking to our apartment we take a moment to stop and peek through our neighbor´s door to see if Valentina, the monkey, is around. If so, we stare longingly, hoping for a moment of play time. Sometimes, our six month old neighbor even puts on a show: dancing, jumping, and scratching.
Today as we stood in front of the door, one of the sisters of the complex saw us, and invited us to come in, and not only play with Valentina, but take her out and borrow her for as long as we desired. Valentina either loved, hated, or got very nervous when brought into our room. To express this she pooped everywhere! First on my lap, then scurrying off me, on my pants lying on the bed, then on the bed. She then left a trail as she quickly climbed up the curtains. I even ended up with poop on my face. Needless to say, we returned Valentina sooner than we would have liked, wondering "Can a monkey be potty trained?"
Equally pressing questions of the times are "Will we ever get a hot shower/a shower?", "When will it rain tomorrow?", "Will the rotary club meeting differ from the lion´s club meeting and are we betraying the lions club by going to the rotary club meeting?", and "Where did all the bread from this morning go?"

hi Becca!!!
it's ur african sister molly. i just learnt of the concept of "blog" from u coz as i was asking how u were doing, alan told me to check out ur blog. so i said "...blooooog? and that is????.." but don't worry, now i know! i'll follow ur journey thru ur monologue -- u r a fabulous writer; i'm enjoying it immensely. i can see ur moments with the monkey very vividly --- maybe i should tell u that u shouldn't throw anything at the monkey coz they will catch it and throw it back real hard!!! make sure u take plenty of pictures; laugh often and continue to have this beautiful passion for life. of coz try to eat less cookies & more veggies --- are they chocolate chip?!! yum!!
