What am I doing here?.......Oh ya I am playing a board game that has absolutely no skill involved. Simply rolling the dice to see who is luckiest. I should try my luck in Vegas the way I am playing tonight.
6, 6, 5, 1, 6, 4, 5. The high rolling doesn't stop. I am making this game my......ugh ya! The excitement doesn't stop there. My unofficial partner in crime, Radi, and I are ganging up on the girls. You see, when you play board games, friendships are forgotten and gender alliances form only for the benefit of watching the others become frustrated with our tag-team efforts. I almost felt bad, then I realized how much I hate losing. Not saying I am a sore loser, but hey lets face it, winners (at least with board games) get all the glory. However miniscule that glory may be.
The night started with the intention of me teaching an english lesson to my new friends at the, what I refer to as, house next to the police station. But really it is an transitional facility for former orphans who are too old for an orphanage but still do not have the means to be out on their own. Either way, the formal english lesson was scrapped for a cooking lesson.
Why not learn english and cook at the same time. It worked and it definitely was better than me sitting there pointing to a worksheet and saying the word over and over. We cooked, we learned food items in English, we tested cologne, and we cleaned. And then we tryed not to cheat......sure, right O!!
If you play with Bulgarians you better know the words, cheater, liar, don't touch, and get the hell out of here! Thankfully I did.
"Wan, tu, tree, fow, fife, seex." I don't want to sound condescending but at least we learned the numbers one through six really well. In fact, I love these kids. They actually enjoy learning english and it is nice to have an informal class room of a home. I know they loving have me around too, based on the smell of my clothes from the cologne testing. My favorite kid (he is actually 21) goes around saying "You are" all the time, and whenever it most inapplicable. Haha, now if I can get him to just finish that sentence.......
Okay now back to the game. "No cheating!!! You mooshenik!!!" I plan on winning or at least helping my ally defeat the evil feminine empire.
This is what you do when you win.
Jump for joy and land softly!!!! (and take a blurry picture)
