more universal things

"Universal" Things
**this list will grow, too
--Paper, rock, Scissors (used to make decisions the world round)
--Jacks. Only you play with little rocks here instead of jacks and a bouncy ball
--Boys throw rocks at things.
--House flies.
--Barn flies.
--Biting flies.
--Women fix up their hair to go out. Here that means putting on a slightly nicer veil/scarf. For me it means making sure I don’t look like a fool.
--Sugar. In huge volumes.
--Mothers worry.
--Drum circles.
--Dancing. In some places it happens in gender segregated rooms though.
--Grandmothers/older women tell young women to put on more clothes/different clothes.
--People like cold water.
--Homemade popsicles.
Installment 2
--People pick their noses
--Black cats are considered unlucky… poor things
--Little boys pee on things
--Teenage girls are moody
--It’s still amazing what you can build with rocks, water, and dirt. Cement helps, too.
--If you are in a broken down car with more than 5 men looking at it scratching their heads, you’ll be there a while.
--2-year-olds are terrible. Especially when spoiled. They are also adorable and occasionally amazingly sweet.
