You just might be living in Haiti if…

Your 9 year old makes a vivarium and has a choice of which gecko he’s going to catch from inside your home

You find gecko poop in your shoes (and it looks just like mouse poo but you’re not as disgusted by it)

While you’re bleaching carrots, you see your three year old out the window completely naked, pee peeing alongside a puppy

You go to a 3 ½ hour long church service…and when you take your restless toddler outside to the nursery he entertains himself by chasing chickens

You see live goats tied together by their horns, hanging from the side view mirrors of trucks

You sift bugs out of the pancake mix at night so the teams don’t know (tip: freeze first to stop them from crawling (j/k..kinda ;)

When you get an owwie, someone sincerely pokes it

No one gets up from the dinner table to remove the tarantula crawling on the wall

You continuously have fire-ant bites between your toes

You wake up at 5am to hang laundry and still sweat

All the fruit you buy at the market is personally marked by the seller

Your children walk around balancing odd items on top of their heads

Children you don’t know, try to braid your hair at church

You’re at the grocery store and you have to divide everything by 40 to figure out how much it costs and then they tell you the price is in another currency so divide by 5 but pay in the first denomination or multiply by 8

Your husband alternates Norwex clothes to wipe the sweat from his head…while he sits in the shade…with a “cool” breeze

You drink the bugs in your water bottle and actually think to yourself “I’m saving money on protein”    

You use a public restroom and come out and say “three walls and a hole…it’s better than I expected”

Your nine year old asks to carry a machete like the seven year olds he sees

Someone tries to wash your car with gasoline rags and then demands you pay them for the unwanted service

You find pig feet and other parts sitting out on your counter

You try to eat a banana and find out it’s actually a potato

Your chicken comes with parts you don’t know how to cook

Your three year old can be a professional locksmith…in his underwear

You just might be living in Haiti…if you find joy and humor in a place you feel blessed every day to share the love of Christ
