The One with the Rabid Children

Written on: le 2 Janvier 2011

They say every story has a moral. I’m not so sure about this one, but here goes.

New Years morning in Togo is like Halloween night in America: the kids all go door-to-door collecting candy. Only this is not your average innocent trick-or-treating; these kids are NUTS. They run around yelling “Bonne Année!!!!! ” at the top of their lungs, then they show up at your doorstep to demand “bon-bons.” Then they scream and fight and scramble and try to sneak seconds. At one point I gave up and shut my door on a swarming mob of like fifty kids. Five years working as a camp counselor… and I never met my match until now :)

The End.
