B.K.W.
Well.... day three of the Bishow Kathleen war carries on. I hate this! You know how people tell you that kids never will remember if you yell at them and how they will move on quickly. NOT BISHOW! He defies all norms. When I have kids I will give them whatever they want and never yell at them. Because this is just so heart breaking. Liv compares us as a couple that has broken up and he is trying ot make me jealous. Along with the silent treatment he now is giving Liv more attention than he ever did before. Conviently hugging her and sitting on her lap infront of me. I couldn't walk into a room without being hugged by this boy and now. Nothing! When he hugs Olivia she will look at me and laugh like "I can't believe this!" and I will just shake my head in disbelief I have never had to deal with being the jealous ex girlfriend before, but this does break my heart. I just hope he gets over this soon, like before I leave!
Anyways, right now we are in Thamel, we like just leaving hte house once in awhile. Not that we are doing much in town, but it's just getting us out of the house. So go to town (we have mastered the bus) and we say hello to all of out friends who we run into everytime at the same spot. We look lik real locals. Ahhhh if only we weren't white we might actually be able to play that off for real. Then we exsaserbate the fact that we are tourist by coming to THE touristy restraunt. But I can't help it, I love it here! I mean, helloooo free wifi! Why would I say no? And then ontop of it we get falafel and hummus. So I am in heaven. I am on the last 100 pages of my book, I am eating great food with wondrful ginger tea and we are not praying. I am in heaven!
Today we go to the school to hear what the kids got for the test results. I think these are like mid terms, or maybe mcas kinda thing, I don't know. but we love going to the school because people just gather around us and yell at us in Nepali. Usually we don't know what they are sayung but we are aware that suddenly there are 5 adults and 20 kids surrounding us. Yesterday our friend told us when we had out usual audiance that they were saying how excited they were to have us. We were like "really? That's what they yelling means???" They all sound like they are yellling at each other hear. They are a loud people, so there for I fit in well I think. Anyways, so off to school now to pretend to be the kids white mothers. People will come up to me when I am sitting with one of the kids and they will be like "you're daughter?" and I laugh and say ohhh no just sati (friend). I think that is odd considering Annedi is practically black! But sure why not. That was better then the time when someone asked if Olivia was my daughter. My response ".......WHAT?!?!? She is 19! Ohh sweet jesus!"
And I would say that was the low of my trip so far. But all in all (besides Bishow killing my heart) all is well and we are having fun! Off to be moms again!
Love you all!
