It’s all fun and games…

...until your rear wiper comes off.

The dirt road into Itipini turns into quite the mud pit after several days of rain, like we’ve had this week. That in turn makes the car muddy, which in turn means all the people I give rides to get their clothes muddy getting in and out, which means they complain to me all the time.

On Friday - for reasons that defy explanation - there wasn’t any school so there were lots of children hanging around all day. To give them something to do, I told them to wash my car. A big crowd of them took to the task with an eager enthusiasm and spent at least two hours working away at it. (It’s a small car.)
Then a handful of them came into the clinic holding the rear window wiper. Sigh...

...till the car loses a part. This is too good.
