AYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!

Today in class we finished the documentary, God Grew Tired of Us.  It was really good.  I think we should have John Dau speak at our school.  How cool would that be!? Anyways in the documentary John Dau gets reunited with his mother who she has not seen in 17 years.  It was amazing to see how happy she was.  In Africa they have a custom that when celebrating the women make a loud high pitch noise like AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA! I can't really describe me you would have to hear it, but anyway John Dau's mother fell onto the floor making that noise.  It was so... I don't it was like so nice to see how happy she was but then you kinda got to be like, okay you're sort of embarrassing yourself ( I think John and his sister who he was also reunited with were kind of embarrassed to tell you the truth.)  But all in all it was a very happy story.
