THINGS I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SAY


  • I thought I was really sick but it turned out it was just parasites...again
  • Can you crawl up on the roof and throw me down the mangoes?
  • I only reported 8 studies this month :(
  • So-and-so is looking to study twice a week now, and I just don't know where I'm going to fit her in!
  • I'm so sorry your pig died! (I really said this to a student; pigs are big money here! One piglet costs about $30 and a full-size farm pig costs about $150)
  • I'm really craving beans for lunch
  • The broom and mop have rubbed a blister on my fingers
  • Hold on, I gotta wash the feathers off this egg before I can crack it
  • It's the road past the volcano.  No, the OTHER volcano
  • I know it could save us money, but I'm NOT going to turn the refrigerator off at night
  • Well poop! I'll just have to wash tomorrow because we've run out of water!
  • Shelina, I woke up with a cockroach on my stomach
  • Look at this perfectly good lime/orange/avocado I found in the gutter!

  1. Ha ha! These are great! I've said a few of them myself. And by the way, we do turn off the refrigerator at night. :)

  2. Is it sad or funny that I've said some of those things and I'm not even a missionary?

    1. OK, it's not only feathers we have to wash either, but I have the tendency to be slightly gross on this blog so I'm trying to clean it up. A little.

  6. I can't believe you said the one about cockroach. So funny, I'm dying because it's so true!

    What may not generally be known, is how you happened to be inside of a mosquito net at the time. Now that's one Houdini Cockroach if I ever saw one.

    1. I know, right?! Well, you were witness to the fact I didn't know I could scream that loud or weasel my way across a netted bed so quickly in all my life.
