Who knew reading storybooks could be so entertaining! Today Uncle David read the Cat in the Hat and One Fish, Two Fish, Red fish, Blue Fish by none other than Dr. Susu…? The word for “relieving oneself” in Luganda has a similar sound to Seuss. Little kids giggle easily. I just hope that if I ever learn a language well so I can read it, I’ll appreciate the subtleties enough to laugh.
Today, rain drenched our home area. The coats that were airing out on the clothes line were drenched overnight and then got another wash throughout the afternoon. As is typical, though, rain doesn’t stop kids from playing outside. In fact it makes it all the better. Tony’s sweater weighed as much as him, soaked in water.
I dig my team. It’s odd that we have the same number of aunties as uncles (4x4), but the even ratio keeps us real, grounded, and a bit silly. The team is so tight (cool and close) that I can’t wait to be on the road with them. They love to joke around, spend time hanging out, and be present and active with the kids whether it be at meals or playtime. House time will be extra good since we’ll have an opportunity to build friendships and trust before becoming road warriors.
Did you know?
Suess is actually pronounced “soyce”- sounds like voice. But Soose is much better and makes for a better story at least while Ugandans are near. (reference: my 6th grade autobiography report)
