We were driving to school this morning – both girls were crying and yelling at each other, and pleading their cases to me: who was mean, who started it, and how in Ethiopia it’s “not like that!”. I was doing my darndest to provide empathy and guidance, while driving to school as fast as I possibly could – desperate to avoid further conflict.
There was a brief moment of silence, and Yohannes who is not known to be silent for very long piped up and asked (in all seriousness),
“Mom, if there was a nose-picking contest, do you think I would win?”
