Joanna Goldberg sends biweekly communiqués from Kenya, where she’s living with her kid
Cameron reflects on her days at school. <My responses in parantheses.>
Cobra and kids
I saw a snake today in the playground! It was a black cobra! <What? How do you know?> The teacher said so. We saw its nest! <What did the teacher do?> Nothing. He said to leave it alone. But I’m going to look for it again tomorrow.
God and lesbians
Today I told Rutendo that a girl can be in love with a girl. And she got really mad at me and said they can’t. <Well, she’s wrong and you’re right.> But she gotreally mad at me. She said that if a girl loves a girl, then God will punish them. I told her that was not true. It’s not true, is it mama?
