Thank God for Machine Guns
Aaahhh! We all totally forgot it was thanksgiving yesterday! We had what we always have for dinner: fried chicken and cassava leaf soup. It sounds gross, but it’s actually quite good. And you should see these people make it! Wow! One of Ben’s neighbors came over to teach Mrs. VanderHook how to chop the leaves and I thought this woman would slice her fingers off for how fast she was moving her hand. I think she could throw bullets faster than a machine gun could shoot them. Sorry for the analogy. It’s just that there are so many soldiers with guns around here, I can’t get it off the brain. They’re here to protect the people. If they weren’t here the rebels would be using those weapons on us. All that to say, we might not have had a thanksgiving dinner, but I still know what I’m thankful for. Life.
