I.Am.Village.

I was bored one night so I made a list. 

I’m so village I…

…go to bed when the sun goes down.

…stay up on Friday night to watch my last candle burn out.

…pick fleas off my dog for hours.

…eat popcorn for dinner.

… sweep with a bundle of sticks.

…walk to the market once a week.

…do not have electricity.

…fetch my own water.

…often cook with charcoal.

…milk the cows.

…have rats routinely raid my house.

…use a bucket to bathe.

…use a cut water bottle for a funnel.

…have a pit latrine.

…use rope to help me workout.

…have a leaking roof.

…wear earplugs when it rains on my tin roof.

…cut my own hair.

…buy 500 shillings of airtime at a time.

…get goat legs delivered to me by Sipi (my dog).

(I've actually been busy at site building a playground and getting a field bulldozed!)

... own four jerrycans.

...have chickens outside my house.

...carve my own soap.

...have to charge my phone somewhere else...

...know the local cows
