Kids and Krayons

We are at a village called Anchor Ban now. Last year when we were here a fierce storm came up in the night and destroyed our gangplank and shook everyone on board up a little bit! So far this year we have had no storms yet. It has begun to rain each day, however. The rainy season usually starts in June but began a full month early this year. The farmers will be happy!
Saturday morning we had another coloring session with the local kids. This time we did not have a crew member to translate for us so we did our best. We handed out crayons and pictures to be colored. It was hard to get them to use only one crayon and not hold 10 in there hands! I felt like a first grade teacher. I tried to teach them to share and put all but one back in the box so the others could use them. I finally got the idea across.
We had the same problem when we brought out the popcorn. They dove right in and began filling their pockets like there was no tomorrow! I think here the kids have to grab for anything they can get when they can get it.
Wished you could have seen their faces when we gave each one a tiny little 10 cent “etch-a-sketch” tablet. They acted like kids on Christmas morning who have received the ultimate gift and not expecting it! That was fun. rick
