Mary, or "Maru" as the kids call her sometimes (meaning 'grandmother' in Serahuli), is Oupulley's daughter, and she was rocking some hair extensions. She was actually petrified of me when she first saw me, which became apparent when she screamed and refused to get out from under Sharon's skirt (picture pending), but after a while I think I won her over with my looks and charm, and it wasn't long before she was sitting in the front seat wedged between me and my dad. My dad rolled me out of bed to take me to Kembujeh because he wanted me to go check out the nursery school they just built. He wants me to paint slash decorate it somehow with nursery-school-friendly characters. It wasn't looking half bad, actually... still under construction. We took the kids with us even though my dad usually gets on them about studying because they really wanted to ride in the back of the truck.
Also got my first two marriage proposals today, yay me. They asked my dad if I was his wife and when they found out he wasn't they asked for my hand in marriage after telling me that they loved me. Twue wuvv.
PS - If Jenna's reading this, the kids really miss you. They keep asking about you.
