Crazy Montevideo Winters are ending, here comes the Spring...



I have missed a day! I went to sleep last friday night and woke up, thinking that it is saturday, sunday morning! "Boluda, es domingo!" ("It is sunday, dork!") said Javier on the phone when I was still trying to wake up from my looong beauty sleep. We missed the Bersuit concert, which was a long-awaited event for me, considering not many cool things have been happening in Montevideo recently.

I have never been so sleepy in my whole life, and I certainly was not tired that night, as to sleep for a whole day. Weird, very weird, I still cannot explain myself what has happened to me.

Anyways, I missed Saturday but had a wonderfull Sunday: my first official interaction with Javier's daughter.

Aside from playing, sharing laughs, paiting our bodies, collaging, eating, singing, the most unmotherly woman --me--went to an amusement park, chatted with other parents while the little girl was enjoying the rides, took her to do pipi-and caki, and clean her afterwards, and at the end of the day slept around 10 pm, while she hugged me as I was her Teddy Bear.

Honestly, it was one of the most affectionate moments of my life. Adults don't hug like that, only children, who are sincere about how they feel about you and they are not afraid to show it to you.

My cousin and I were talking about it the next day, he thinks I probably mesmerized the little girl, because I am a little girl myself, with tons of toys and stories accumulated over time, due to my real age (Juana guessed I was six years old!). He also thinks my unmotherlyness comes from the fact that I am soo young deep inside I cannot think of having kids of my own. He could be right...

I will report more on the adventures of the international party girl as a potential parent, I really hope to be able to keep hanging out with this brilliant girl, again, soon.
