It has rained for over a week

One rainy day, I came home from school and ayi and Zuri were watching a movie. They're not allowed to do this but I didn't mind because it was raining so hard. Anyway, they were watching it in French which cracked me up. Neither one of them cared what was said. Zuri is mesmerized by the movie "Beverly Hills Chihuahua." I've never known him to have such good concentration.Yesterday was a good day in Carleigh-world. Last week, I had misplaced my favorite metal-ish, double-insulated cup that I bought in the states (because they're so expensive here). The first place I went actually LOOKED for it for me (and in several places). In the past, when you lose something here and go back for it, they just tell you, without looking as if they are all-knowing, that they don't have it. Alas, no cup. The second place HAD it! I was so happy; I had even run into a friend and told her that I thought it would be a miracle if they actually would return my cup.Secondly, because it was STILL rainy, I asked the cab driver to wait for me. I told her that I would give her 5 yuan if she would. Later, she refused to take it! This is actually the second driver to do this in just a few days so maybe I should change my opinion on the "All Chinese are out to steal money from Westerners." There are some honest people out there, I'm VERY happy to report.
