Yesterday Nia was complaining that her booty was showing when she wore of her bathing suits. This is a compound problem-- to begin with, the bathing suit was a little too big, but then also, hand-washing (or probably more accurately lineDRYING) doesn't give the elastic the heat to "snap back" meaning all clothing kind of grows...
So-- being the industrious Proverbs 31 woman I am, I grabbed three cable ties, and the suit now fits perfectly-- with a few cute puffs. Or as Nia put it, "it looks like me butt has ears."
Although it's frustrating at times, it's also really fun to learn how to "make it work" here in Haiti.
(And by the way, I would just like to point out that I purchased this swimsuit at the end of last summer at Walmart for $1. Yes folks, $1.)
