Birthday

So the other day we took the boys to the beach instead of holding an art class due to last week's disaster. It was a blast, as usual. Well one of our kids, Bebe, told us that Monday was his birthday. He told me, and then cornered Nikki and told her as well. I was not sure if I believed him at first, but then his friend came and told me seperately that it was Bebe's birthday on Monday. So when we showed up in Aguas Negras today with cake and presents for Bebe, we ended up having to hunt him down. Well first, we ran into his Father, and told him that we had brought birthday cake and presents for Bebe's birthday. His Father had no idea what we were talking about...Bebe's birthday was in February! That was the moment we realized that we had fallen for the exact thing Liz warned us about - how the boys love to pretend it's thier birthday...they always get their friends involved and play tricks on us to get birthday presents! We couldn't believe that we had fallen for the trick, but at the same time we didn't want to start accusing him of lying...but it was quite hillarious. The parents felt really bad though, and called Liz later to apologize.

In English class today we played charades - it was so much fun! After English we took some of the boys to the Melacon...it was super hot today...it is getting hotter by the day as it gets closer to summer. On our walk to the Melacon, Jose asked me for 10 pesos for water. So I gave it to him, and he bought an ice-cream bar instead...as much as I know I should have said to him that it was wrong, I couldn't help but laugh and get everyone else ice-cream too...and Jose still went on to point to his ice-cream and tell me "good water"! Hahaha.
