I got to do some gardening with the neighborhood kids. They helped me pull weeds and had fun using the hoe to try to make rows for me to plant on. I had on work gloves so that I wouldn’t get poked by the thorny weeds and I kept hearing the Baka kids say something about a monkey. It turns out that their term for those types of gloves is “monkey hands”! I love talking with the little kids because they don’t care how bad I butcher their language; they always giggle and smile. They got rewarded with cookies and I gave the two girls that actually worked about 20 cents each and they were very satisfied. Cheap labor!
