Last night Boniface (Father Simon's brother and the father of those kids I've posted a lot of pictures of) came and picked me up so that I could socialize with Carol and Nancy for a bit.. Perpetua (or Mama Bonita--mothers go by Mama and their first child's name more often than their own name after motherhood) was there, nursing Lucas, and when he was done, he ran around and what not. Perpetua and I talked, as much as the language barrier allows us, and what I got out of it was that she wants me to take Lucas to the United States someday and, of course, I said yes! Have you seen that kid?! Precious . Anyways, the best part was that after that I said "mimi caca" and pointed to him, which means "my brother", and he laughed and laughed and laughed and then said "Mzungu, mimi dada", which means "white person, my sister."
And I died. right there on the spot.
