Last night my neighbor asked me to help his girlfriend translate something from English to Thai. It was an article on osteoporosis. I quite frankly don’t know many of the Thai words used to talk about osteoporosis.
As I was slowly crawling my way through the first paragraph of the three page article, my neighbor kept bringing me different things to eat and drink. First was a sleeve of Oreos. Next came a soda. After a few more minutes, honey coated bananas, then to top it all off a bottle of honey. The bottle is no smaller than a liter.
I finished none of these edibles any more than I finished translating the three pages about osteoporosis. When we had all decided that the Micah-as-translator approach was not the best option, I was asked to take the Oreos, the soda, the bananas, and the honey with me. Excluding the soda which I finished, they are all now in my refrigerator. Ants make keeping anything edible anywhere but in the fridge nearly impossible.
