the simple things that make me smile =)
- When I was babysitting the Baker children and the power was out, I stood out in the hallway while the kids were supposed to be going to bed. I happened to “overhear” bits and pieces of their conversation. HOW PRECIOUS!
- While I was walking to town church from the Bakers’ house, I passed my house and there were kids playing in our tree-house. It was the neighbor’s kids who called out to me, just a friendly hello. As I kept walking, passing our neighbor’s home, I heard someone calling to me again. This time it was Fahd, calling from high up in the tree. When Fahd what he was doing up there, he replied matter-of-factly, “Eating chocolate.”
- One night when power was out, I left from the Bakers’ home to run home and get another change of clothes. Because the power was out and it was overcast, it was pitch black. I guess I sort of “forgot” we have a dog and must have jumped a mile when she came running up to me. Apparently Livingstone was sitting outside and saw the whole thing and just died laughing.
- So, I was riding this piki piki (moped-type bike) on the way to the Fouts’ house the other night and my driver tried to get up their steep driveway. He was spinning his tires pretty badly and I was worried the bike was going to just fly out from underneath us. So instead of waiting to crash, I kind of jumped off the piki piki, but the driver tried to grab me to hold me on the bike and I ended up falling off. Livingstone saw this one from our house too. I guess he gets all sorts of laughs because of me!
