I've created a MONSTER!!!

so doing laundry in my village is not fun, you have to hike your cloths all the way to this spring and then all the women make fun of me while i'm doing it. so i pay this girl in my compound to do it, plus i hated doing laundry in america where i had a machine to do it. so this girl is 12 or 13, really funny and probably does laundry for me once a week. let's also add she's probably one of the richest 12 year olds in the southern region of senegal, because of this. i'm always asking her what she does with the money, if she's saving it help with school stuff or what? she says no and that i would soon see. one thursday, weekly market day in a neighboring village, she returns with a ton of jewelery and a brand new outfit! she bought these giant bright green hoops, flower braclets encrusted with jems and flashy rings. another volunteer was in my village and so we started calling her 'bling-bling'. did i also mention that this girl is a total ham, she cracks me up all the time. so my friend and i are sitting under my shade structure, reading and what not. we look over and she, Marie, pronounced similiar to Mary, is laying on this stick bed having these two children massage her. as soon as she notices that we are wathcing her, the diva comes out. she said things like 'rub my eyes and i'll pay you 200cfa,' 'rub my neck and i'll pay you 300cfa,' 'rub my back and i'll pay you 1,500 cfa.' she sat there and did this for a good 20 minutes all the while wearing every piece of her new trashy jewelery. since she has bought even more new cloths and head scarves and is becoming one of the best dressed girls in senegal. so i've started doing alittle of my own laundry so as hopefully this won't keep going to her head. so everytime she walks by i say 'bling-bling'!!!
