Episode 3 - Thievery, Groping, Making Out and More

Here is a random assortment of my favorite Honto tidbits.

#1 – One of the cars that belong to our extended family stopped working one morning. Our host-father, host-brother and host-farmhand (?) popped the hood to diagnose the problem and discovered it right away, since the “carburetor” was missing. That obviously doesn’t make any sense, so I’m not sure what car part was stolen and then mistranslated to “carburetor”, but from the tone, inflection and body language I’m guessing it was something big and obvious.

#2 – While one of the boys was chilling out reading a book (Reading! Yay! A 2nd grader was reading!) one of the adults came along and snuck up on him and surprised him by grabbing his pecker.

#3 – You go to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, but discover that someone has stolen the light bulb from the bathroom to use in their bedroom. (That’s country ya’ll. That. Is. Country.)

#4 – You accidentally walk in on a neighbor (who has a newborn) while she is making out with a Filipino farmhand while another Filipino farmhand watches.

#5 – Two Filipina domestic helpers (D.H.'s) were fighting at breakfast. When asked what the trouble was, their employer said that one of them usually gives the grandfather of the family his daily bath, which includes a little something special at the end for him. (How thoughtful!) And that morning the other girl did the job for her, and she was quite upset that she didn't get to do the job herself.
 
There is never a dull day. Never. A. Dull. Day.
