Another NEW adventure

"Mama, come, come, Look at this!! "
Johane had never seen a sprinkler system. We had to go outside to see it. It squirted water right out of the ground into the air, and onto the grass. Parts of it moved and one section of it just disappeared into the ground and stopped. She was puzzled.

In a culture where one of her jobs is to walk to a water source, fill a bucket and return it to the house for the family to use, this scene was too much to comprehend,
The question came..."Me touch it?" Yes you can touch it...its cold. I cupped my hand over the sprinkler head to wash the silt off the top, thinking that if she saw the plastic head it would be less of a mystery. She loved seeing the splash. She had to repeat my action several times spritzing her hands and lower legs. She was so engrosed in that one sprinkler head, she completely forgot that there were more than one working at a time until another one came along and plastered her right in the tush. Boy, can that girl move when she needs to! (grin) We both laughed at the adventure of it all.
