The Laundry and the Crab
Over here, I am learning a whole new way of life... It's kind of a pain, for instance, that I have to wash all my clothes by hand...
Which is why I'm wearing this shirt for the third time...
But it's also cool to see all the interesting things here. There was a baptism recently. Baptisms are done at the beach here, so I got to see some interesting things...
You would have laughed a little, because we found a crab that looked like a brown Mr. Krabs with six legs. It was really big. The kids put it on the ground and it skedaddled super-fast. It literally looked like it was dancing across the sand, because the feet were going crazy and it was moving sideways. Here's the funny part though:
The kids that put it down didn't want it to run away.
So a little girl picked up this huge piece of wood.
Then she ran after it.
Swoosh...miss
Swoosh...miss
Swoosh...SMACK---DIRECT HIT.
She destroyed it. She just brought her arm down and bang! Right smack dab between the eyes.
There was pink goop all over one side. It wasn't moving...
And since it stopped moving, the children said: that's boring...
They came back. They said: it died...
I whispered under my breath: it got killed!
I also saw a sea slug and picked up a starfish. Not a starfish like in Sponge Bob, but one of those with the skinny black spiny legs. It's weird because they move. While you are holding it they move. I couldn't find the mouth or eyes or face, but it was moving...
And of course, I've taught people…
But you know that already. I could go on and on about old Tays that interrupt me over and over to crazy ladies who tell me to be quiet when I'm not talking, but there...
Also, tell mama that as desperately as I want her written letters, I have not received a single one, so she might want to hold off on sending another.
