10.15.2008

Well, I like to sew, and my host family knows that, so I regularly sew two scraps of cloth back into shirts or shorts or skirts for them. Well, I guess you take your mending to the tailor, right? And the tailor has the sharp scissors, right? And you’d want the person with the sharpest scissors for delicate cutting, right? Well, I know all that so maybe this shouldn’t have surprised me quite so much. But my host-mother came up to me the other day as I was sewing something up with her baby (2 months) and asked if I would circumcise him. I said no.
