Today's visit with Bobasha and Makandja was jam packed. We started out discussing American currency. The lesson was a review for Makandja, and a fun initiation for Bobasha. They seemed to take a lot of pleasure identifying coins and paper money and doing the math for some mock purchases and trying to stump their teachers.
Gary demonstrated to the men when and how to use deodorant. Both Makandja and Bobasha have small neatly trimmed beards, and aren't too interested in shaving, but they got a kick out of learning about shaving cream and razors.
The four of us spent time cleaning the kitchen. Makandja started calling me "mom", when I insisted the entire kitchen be cleaned. (Seems like Bobasha and his attitude towards cleaning is like most young men with their first apartment.)
Going grocery shopping was our next adventure. Fresh fruit is very high on their list, as is meat and fish. The cashier at the store was fascinated by the men and went out of his way to accommodate them.
