Best thing I’ve heard in a while came from Amarra, the 6 year old daughter of Stacy, the nurse practitioner who runs the clinic in Namacurra. Amarra just lost one of her front teeth. Sitting next to her at dinner, I asked her if the tooth fairy had ever visited her. She states very matter-of-factly, “yes, but last time it took 3 days for the tooth fairy to take my tooth, because her wings kept getting caught in my mosquito net. So I had to put my tooth on a table.”
Also, I need to post a clarification of the previous posting about the bug in my room. A certain someone in Djibouti has brought to my attention that it was more than a brief girlish shriek that I made when i saw the demon bug. He called me a liar and insists that I post a clarification of this statement. So, here it goes...I didn't briefly scream. I may have screamed and hyperventilated for 5-10 minutes. There! You happy?!
