A month later and i've learned a lot about this world and been confused by more. When i'm woken up from a deep sleep to be played with and spoken to in a language I can't comprehend I'm obviously cranky and express the discomfort the only way I know how, by crying. So how do they deal with this? They try to put me back to sleep! What the bloody?
 
As much as I feel the need to sleep, it can be a disaster! As I've already mentioned there are times I find myself half naked over a sink with an oily finger up my butt. There are other times I wake up with an entire group of strangers and I'm convinced I was swapped in my sleep! 
 
My life isn't very complicated, I'm either tired, hungry, need to be changed or need to be burped. It's hardly rocket science and yet, my handlers, the chinese lady and chubby fella, seem to think it is! In fact, there was an instance where I was wailing owing to a full diaper and the woman announced she needed to change me. Standing up, she rolled up her sleeves and made her way to the bathroom only to walk back a few seconds later giggling….she had forgotten, to take me with her….to change me……
 
 
God Help Me!
