African Adventures, Day 9 :
As the routine of teaching went on I chilled in the back with the young kids. I had a tiny 5 year old on my lap ( He looks as though he is 1 or 2 because his mom did not take care of him well enough so he is very VERY malnourished and has worms).. I cuddled the little boy because he never gets that type of love. I guess he was like the little girl was with my mom and did not want to leave my lap.. because he peed ALL over me. I felt the warmth and got a little grossed, but since he did want to leave I did not make him, he was too cute! I sat there uncomfortably for a bit, then... it happened again.. ARE YOU KIDDING?!.. And again about 10 minutes later.. he did not want to leave, I felt so sad for the poor boy. I sat there again ..wet and full of a malnourished boys' pee... oh but guess what, to my joy.. He peed on me for the 3rd time. By then the kids around him noticed and took him off me. He was not happy, so I let him back on. After a bit my mom was heading out so I left with her. (She was sitting beside me on a couch and he peed so much it also got on her ) We both went to change and I had a nice... CLEAN shower. Many people may be very grossed out by it, but if you were to understand how neglected and how much a child needs love.. you might get it. It's not like I like to be peed on, but how could you get mad at an innocent child who needs a family? If you feel the same way, you can't. Of course I had to clean up, so i did so and ate lunch. I then had to head back to the class to teach the older kids. We finished up and I headed to the studio with Ben and Adam again , ate then back to the studio to practice our song. After a long day, I was ready for sleep.
