All About Sinks and Windows

Another of life’s little mysteries is, “How exactly do they build sinks and windows down in Mexico City?” Hey, I’m so glad you asked! Let’s start with the bunkhouse. Now, not being female, nor living in the bunkhouse, I can really only provide you with the report and results. The actual contents of the story will have to come from one of the girls involved. Now I do know how men act in a group shower situation. Depending upon your towel snapping prowess, you either play “offense” or “defense” and no, age really has nothing to do with this “immature” activity. Now whether towel snapping, or simply leaping off the sinks in some sort of display was involved, again, you will have to ask the girls for a first hand account. But what I do know is one of the sinks ended up on the floor, broken. Now the other two (yes, they had no less than three sinks ... speaking from the “house” side where the Bain’s share one bathroom (not too bad) and the Chica’s share one bathroom ... yes, if you are thinking seven people and one sink you are starting to get the picture) sinks in the bunkhouse are sketchy at best regarding how solidly attached they are. But Ashley, oops, did I mention a name? I forgot we weren’t going to do that.

Okay, so why wonder about windows? Wells, they have bars on the windows, which are installed on the inside. This seems nice, allows one to open the windows to let in a breeze, etc. So during the family day, Noah and others of us, along with the Mexicans, engage in a favorite activity down here of playing soccer. Competition being what it is, a nicely placed kick landed a soccer ball in middle of one of the windows of the bunkhouse. Now there are bars on the windows as you recall, but they are on the inside of the window. Right, so not much good here other than keeping the ball out of the house. Now since one broken window isn’t enough, Cheeks, Noah, and company thought hey, we gotta finish our game! Okay, so you see this one coming from a mile away. The window directly above the previously broken one becomes the next target. Noah is now able to join the Mexicans in feelings of remorse and guilt ... poor little Noah ... actually it was difficult to show that sympathy amidst laughing so hard, but Noah, there was sympathy for ya! Builds character. Toughens one up. Okay, back to VBS and enough pondering for now...
