The Cricket

That first day, we went to a “Cricket” I have never seen a game of Cricket so that was interesting. I also met Seth’s manager and the owner of the company and some wives. All very nice and interesting people whom I will blog more about when I have less to catch up on. Thomas got beat up at the Cricket. I should preface this by saying that almost all the attendees at the Cricket were white Africans. All the children were gathered in a play area – they were obviously a close nit bunch. When Thomas hopped on the trampoline with them they all scattered. Needless to say, it didn’t bode well. I am not sure how the altercation began, but I might suppose it started with Thomas pointing a giant seedpod from one of the trees at someone and indicating that he had the “only” Excalibur. It might just as easily have been a “pick on the new kid” stint. Regardless, Thomas came running back to me saying the kids had pushed him down and hit his back. So, heart breaking!
