A Funny Story

A Funny Story

Last Monday Benedict and I met at our restaurant/Take-away for lunch.
As we walked in, a woman was holding a fussy baby and feeding it by
spoon some porridge. We got our food and went into the book store
part of the restaurant, sat down, and began to eat. After a while,
out of the corner of my eye, I saw the lady get up, and strap the baby
on her back. Then we heard the most awful sound. I thought, "that
baby is really sick. It has a terrible case of laryngitis." Benedict
thought, "what is that lady doing to that baby? Did she drop the
baby?" I was thinking that it sounded like a chicken. Then I saw the
woman leaving the building. The baby was on her back, and in her hand
she held a live chicken in a bag with the head sticking out. We had
not seen the woman arrive, obviously with a chicken. Our experience
of living in the US had not prepared us to expect that anyone would
bring their live chicken to lunch at a restaurant, while they ate!
This story continues to make be laugh!! i hope it does you too.

Tomorrow a team of 12 from Wisconsin arrives for 2 weeks. This team
includes a family of 7. This also is the last week of school for Term
2. We are preparing for a special program on Thursday. Grandmothers
and extended members of the children's families have been invited.
Lunch will be served to them. So it is a busy time.
