Table View, South Africa (Day 6)
disclaimer: Please do not be offended by anything I am writing in this post
5 babies,twenty-five nappy changes, and a shirt covered in diarrhea; it was day of poo explosions.
I was bathing three of the babies when a volunteer shot into the bathroom with Kia* a fourteen month old girl that was at the time covered in shit. "I am not sure what to do" she said; have another baby poop machine I am sure she was thinking. Then she passed Kia* my way like a hot potato. So that was how the diarrhea covered shirt occurred. From there the afternoon was only going to get better.
So after I cleaned up Kia* it became necessary to change my t-shirt. However this became an issue as I had no change of clothes. So I worked with the limited resources I had. I hand washed my t-shirt and was kindly given an apron to cover my bra from the grinning house mother.
But the babies did not want to have a bar of it. They were intent of stripping me of the fabric that was covering my exposed chest. I was crawling on the ground in a costume that resembled a bar tender in a strip club as three toddlers pulled at the strings of my apron. They were giggling; I was mortified, it was really quite a spectacle.
