"It can get cold up here sometimes expecially when the rain falls as you can tell this house is high up in the mountain and a wall house. It can get very hot as well. Saying that to say buy some long sleeves and ting because truly it gets freezing cold up here inna the morning.... um this is the pool area make sure the kids dont go into them too often expecially if dem never do dem home work and make"

"Make sure dinner cook with mama and papa by atleast eight o clock, doctor seh dem fi guh sleep by ten and have at least eight hours of sleep. PLEASE nuh matter how she begg you fi put salt inna har soup dont put non not even alittle bit in there dont buy her no bulla because a dat the last worker did thats why we fire her. My mother is a very convincing lady, she will sweet yuh up please nuh give her no salt"

"She also loves conversations and ting so id appreciate if some days you keep her company and talk to her. My father is a very quiet man and just likes to read his news paper and go to bed early. some days he liked to stay up and listen to rjr and he will tell you if him nuh ready fi sleep yet. thats about all you have to do around here. If you do more we pay you extra"

I stayed silent looking at all the houses and room the lady ms. lena pointed around. Every room we went to there were more children and ladied with young and old enough kids. Some looked like they were in primary school, two girls were in highschool, big boys and grown men. This was a huge family yard. she told me they were only here for summer, but i wondered why they needed me if there were so many grand kids? I couldnt imagine having four daughters and so many sons ans grand kids so many generations and I need a stanger to take care of me? thats fucked up. But me need the money so I shut my mouth I wasnt stupid enough to voice my opinion.

The house was so nice. it looked its age as ms.lena told me it was bult back in the 90's, but it was still gorgeous. There were so many fruits and big mango trees and so many fruits you could go eat if youre hungry. This was such a breathe taking home. I had already spoken to the old lady who introduced her self to me as mrs. Emerson. She was very pretty. She looked indian, she had long stright hair down her back and big round pretty brown eyes. She was a slim old lady. When she held her shaking hand out to me she held my hand with such a grip it caused me to laugh at how strong she was.

Her husband is ineed quiet. She looked up from his paper and shook my hand and smiled at me. He seemed mixed with indian. His hair was curly like 3a and black. He was much lighter than her though, she was very darkskined. He was very sweet and welcoming. The way they mocked each other immidiatly and laughed at each other, the way they looked at each other I could tell they had real love. even at their old age they were still madly in love. It was beautiful to see. So fast as I only met them for one hour.

"Well thats all you need to know so far. mi little niece meika is cooking some dinner inside. Goat soup you can have some if you want? its not ready yet" mrs lena asked.

"Id love some hungry a kill me!" I admitted causing her to laugh brushing her hair over her shoulder. She lead me up to thr very other side of the huge yard where there was a beautiful sunset beeming down. I could hear the loud speakers of squash "progress" blasting from a huge house further below on a seporate piece of land ffom a white house. I saw a benty parked in the garage and I stared down at the house watching her eyes slightly turning down there.

"This will be your room, had a small kitchen and a bathroom, its was mines but you can have it. my little nephew down there in that house room is attached to it around there. him dont come up here very often him stay to him self you know. young 21 too busy with his girlfriend problems" she told me laughing as she pushed my shoulder. i giggled i could already feel it that id like this lady she was funny but about her buisness but funny!
