learned over drinks last night that Halloween does not exist on this continent. my South African friend even stooped so low as to ask if it was this month or next...crushed.
late for work yesterday. just ambling along when a warm soft sticky thing latched onto my hand. figured that my brain had finally succombed to the heat (it got up to 102 about an hour later) and was fried to a point of crispy insanity. but then i looked down... there was a tiny black hand attached to a tiny black little boy who looked up at me with heart-melting brown eyes. a few paces behind was a chitenji clad girl laughing and apologizing for her son's boldness. so hand in hand, little Gift, his mom, and i walked to school.
also, saw two more condoms in the street, bringing the total count up to 5.
