Today’s highlight: I was painting on the side of the school without a wall.
A large group of Luhya children were on the other side of the hedge, peeking through, and whispering amongst themselves as they watched me work.
For 10 minutes they worked as a team to piece together the sentence “it is very nice” low enough that they surely thought I couldn’t hear them. They practiced back and forth with each other for another 5 minutes. They settled on two “very”s and then, one at a time, they called over to me and said “it is very, very nice” one by one.
Every few minutes, I would get another one. “Hello? It is very, very nice.” I know how lucky I am to have spent time with them today.
