Child Labor

Allow me to tell you a tale of a cute, innocent little babe that we shall call Charlee. Charlee was not a normal kid, oh no, she was born into a family where work was the only way to get by in life. Her father and mother both worked hard to make a living. One day, before Charlee was born, an announcement came from the head of the Stork delivery department at Eaton's. They had received the wire that this family wanted a baby and so they were currently working on the request. The father and mother were overjoyed, their first bundle of joy was about to arrive. They waited, they watched and they counted down the days until the stork delivery company would come. Sure enough, nine months later that stork flew in and dropped off the little bundle in front of their doorstep. On looking at the baby they discovered how cute it was and how perfect it would be for work...and so, when the child was big enough they forced it to bring in wheelbarrows of wood and carry buckets of water to the cows and dogs and cats. This only brought about one thing...alas...this poor child has turned into, none other then...oh I don't know...I wasn't really going anywhere with this story. It is currently 2:02 am and I'm tired and ready for bed however I just thought I would write something. About the above picture, I have no idea what I was really doing or why mom and dad took the picture but I saw it and figured I could say something about it. I was probably just trying to find some poor cat that I could throw in a pale of water and torture or carry it upside down...who knows.
My day today was a good one. I officially went to every single class this week and yes therefore made it to all of them today. In fact, I even stayed after my speech class as we had a guest speaker in class and he was really interesting, thus I stayed for a whole 45 minutes after class. After class I went back to my room and checked my emails, read blog post comments and then headed back downstairs to hang out. Today was Christel's 5th bday, no shes not turning five but this was the fifth time she has actually celebrated her real bday, go Feb 29. We had a party for her which was fun then headed over to vespers. It was quite good, I was impressed. This guy that is here visiting does Mark Twain impersonations and so he did the one on the Shepherds in Judea. Afterwards Michael, Adri, Steve and myself came back and chilled in the lobby until JD came along. We followed him outside where he then juggled fire, really cool stuff that I do believe Michael took pictures of and recorded...boys and their cameras. Alas, this ends my unexciting blog...I will now be going as I have 42 minutes remaining of my shift, thank you Val for your company up until this point. Anyways all...have a great night!!
