The 1000 Day Holiday

While I was in Belize, I adopted Baby. It seems quite a popular thing to do these days. She didn’t seem to have a home, even less a body. So I picked her up and brought her along for the ride. Shes disadvantaged since one of her eyes can be a bit wonky, so tends to weird people out a little.

Baby even has her own space in my pack, with a grand view of the world poking her head out from the top of my pack. She seems to spook some people as I walk past, or the luggage loaders on buses and boats when they glance down and see her staring up at them. Sometimes you’ll hear their conversations stop mid sentence, others exclaim and laugh. Its great fun, and generally promotes interaction and and great deal of laughter.

She even keeps an eye on those who have fallen asleep in public places.

This is all leading up to the most interesting encounter Baby has had to date.

We had one guy in my dorm, who after a couple of days said to the others in the room that he couldn’t take it any more, and put a shirt over baby as she was just laying there in my pack.

A day or so later he was talking to the girls in the room wide eyed and says.

“You know that guy with the Baby.. You know that paddling pool is also his?”

“Do you think he bathes the Baby in the Pool?”

Brilliant Idea! Unfortunately I left the next morning so wasn’t able to Bathe baby…
