A peek into 'R' life

Once upon a time...

In a little African town, there was a lovely missionary family that lived in a VERY quiet neighborhood. This little missionary family had a daughter that was suffering from sleep deprivation. *NO JOKE - QUITE SERIOUS! She was getting SERIOUSLY ill.* So the sweet missionary dad told his precious missionary wife, 'We need to do something about this; this is concerning me.' So precious missionary mama went to the duka la dawa (it's the pharmacy for those of you who do not have the privilege of speaking Swahili), to consult with her friend and find a nice little tablet for the darling missionary kid. So after arriving home from a trip to bigger African town, the precious missionary mama gave the darling missionary kid the nice little tablet, a glass of water, and said, " Good-night, I'll see you in the morning." So off the darling missionary kid went on her merry way, to the land of Nod. And there she stayed until...

... her RUDE AWAKENING! You see, the beautiful rain had began to fall with quite enthusiasm. However, the sweet missionary dad forgot that he had left the windows down on the great white Land Cruiser. And THAT is when the rude awakening came! The rain was falling, the windows were open, the neighborhood was as quiet as quiet could be, and the lovely missionary family was snug as a bug, sleeping in their warm beds. All of a sudden, with great noise.... THE HORN GOES OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The missionary dad jumps out of bed, fumbles around for the flashlight, the house AND car keys; the watch guard looks around quite suddenly, and takes off RUNNING around the house. He just KNEW that an evil thief had somehow entered in ever so quietly, and that this said thief was the cause of such a great noise! The missionary dad rushes outside, only to realized his great mistake in leaving the windows open. He opens the door of the great white SFC Land Cruiser, and does something that shuts the horn off, but then the lights came on. He tries to get the lights off, but alas, the lights would not turn off. So the missionary dad, tries, yet again, this time he triumphs over the lights, the noise of the horn, and FINALLY gets to go back into the warmth of his house.

The cause for all of the ruckus was, A) The missionary dad forgot to close the windows, B) the rain began falling, which brings us to, C) the rain, entering the car via the open windows, caused the horn to go off...!

The missionary dad and mama spent the day detailing the great white SFC Land Cruiser, it looks beautiful. The darling missionary kid, whom was oh so ill.... slept, SOUNDLY, for 13 hours!!! She woke up feeling great, and got much work done today!

The END
