20 questions with three little boys at the borehole:


Boys: Are you here to get water?
Me: Yes.

Me: Because we don't have any water at our house right now.
Boys: Where is your house?
Me: Near the small mountain over there. Where is your house?

Me: Uh, no. Not that I know of.
Boys: Do you want babies?

Boys: Do you want red ones?
Me: Excuse me?
Boys: Do you want red ones? (Rubbing my arms) Like you?
Me: Yes, red ones would be very nice.

Me: Yes, I sleep in the bed.
Boys: Does your husband sleep in that little car?
Me: No, he sleeps in the bed too.
Boys: You both sleep in the bed?
Me: Uh...yes.
Boys: (Giggling hysterically) Why?
Me: Um, isn't that your sister calling you to come eat?
Boys: Yeah, but we don't want to go right now.
Me: You don't want breakfast?
Boys: What do you cook at your house?
Me: Sometimes I cook rice-
Boys: We don't eat rice.

Boys: We LOVE potatoes!
Me: Really?
Boys: Potatoes are delicious!
Me: Okay. Good to know.
Boys: Do you have a dog at your house?
Me: Actually I do.
Boys: What is his name?
Me: Asad.
Boys: Is he a red dog?
Me: No he is brown and white.
