Never trust old ladies in purple dresses

Hello readers! I am here to tell you a true story that happened to me not so long ago.


Ok, here it is: Once upon a time, I was at a nunnery in Myanmar, also known as Burma. That is a place where Buddhist nuns live. Girl Buddhist nuns. The boys living in a monastery are called monks. We were there to watch them eat breakfast (crazy, right?) 


Ok, so, after we watched them sing, we went up some clean tile stairs (you could see that girls lived there) to a couple of temples. Since I am from a different country than most of the people there, I was exotic to them. So, lots of people wanted to take pictures with me. Including the lady at this temple at the nunnery who was wearing a purple dress. Me and my mom said ok to the picture, because, what harm can a couple of pictures do, right? After we took the pictures, the lady came up and hugged me. After the hug... she KISSED me!!! It was on my cheek, and she did it so fast that my mom could not do anything about it. After that incident, my mom sanitized my cheek with a wipe. 


So, fellow kids, if you are ever visiting a place in Myanmar where lots of locals go, do yourself a favor, stay away from ladies in purple dresses, and just in case, bring some wipes with you. 

Hoot hoot, see you next time!
