Is it wrong to find this amusing?!

Fils is stoned. This is both worrying and absolutely hilarious! In England I’d probably get into trouble for this! Usually Fils is very polite and calm but when I got back from Kayonza he seemed very different – demanding a banana, washing random parts of his body, making funny gesticulations and postures, more spaced out than normal, and claiming he felt ill.

He said he thought he had malaria but he was so stoned. I told him no banana unless he told the truth. Apparently, Robot – the 10 year old with ADD who wreaks havoc around Rwamagana – had given him something to smoke, in my back garden! So now I have a stoned 13 year old child with special needs who seems to keep going up and down. One minute he’s bouncing around the room or randomly telling us at great lengths which foods he likes and how exactly he’ll cook these things tomorrow, the next minute he’s slouched over a table looking a little sorry for himself and complaining that he feels sick!
