Painful Chinese Underwear

Let me explain the title...

In Mexican spanish, calzon chino ("chinese underwear") is the translation for a wedgie.

Go ahead... figure that one out in your mind's eye! ;)

So... it was a relatively normal night at CVE.

Kids playing games.

Adults drinking coffee and keeping an eye on the kids playing games.

Watching child after child attempt to light the fire in the chimney.

Watching child after child get scolded for not having permission to light the fire in the chimney.

Etc.

And then... WEDGIE MAN struck!

(see above photo for first painful "rotating wedgie" demonstration)

Then Wedgie Man was attacked by five children who were (of course) encouraged by their caretakers to defend themselves.

[As you can see above, Wedgie Man might have been winning... :)]

And then...

Wedgie Man found a new venue for his cruel talents...

THE DREADED COAT HOOKS

(which nicely hook into the back of small boys' shorts, pants, undies, etc.)

(Did I mention little girls were also terrorized by this Wedgie Meanie?)

As you can tell from the agonized expression on Diego's face, this...

WAS ABSOLUTELY NO FUN

(However Wedgie Man was kind enough to provide one of the victims with a chair so I could get a photo before he fell down. A slight, but potentially redeeming quality. ;)

And Joan... now you (like Paul Harvey) know the rest of the story concerning the strangely bent coat hooks.

It's all Wedgie Man's fault.

Personally, I think he should be made to pay for his rampage.

A major calzon chino should take care of it. :)

On a more serious note, please continue to pray for the work teams that are coming and currently in Magdalena; it's always a different place with more people, but we are blessed to enjoy and fellowship with these brothers and sisters and so thankful for their assistance with various projects!
