so i'm walking to the mother house and somone hands me the cutest little baby to hold. Without thinking i accepted the chance to make the baby smile and before i knew it, the mother is gone.
I was surrounded by beggers to begin with and extremely distracted so i didn't get a good look at the mother. All of a sudden i'm freaking out cus i can't find the mother and her fellow beggers are telling me she has left an that the baby is now mine. "Mother gone, you keep." i'm probably as white as a ghost. I've never been so freaked out in my entire life. "what do you mean mother gone? where did she go? she can't be gone? I can't be a dad!"
Finally one man is like, "mother come back in 2-3 hours... i take you to her for money"
Now i might be new to the country but i'm not dumb.. i'm not taking my wallet out when i'm being swarmed by people asking for money... its jsut a bad idea because mobs are never good.
So now i'm contemplating what i'm suposed to do with a 6 month old baby and how i'm going to explain this to the group... i can't even begin to describe to you the mix of emotional hysteria that i was expereincing...
Finally after like 20 min of me freaking out... the mother... who was there the entire time!!! (but was a different person thent he one who gave the baby to me of course) FINALLY realized that i was not going to give money and would probably leave with her baby soon and thus presented herself.
i almost cried with relief!

Holy crap! The street people barely spoke to me. It was only the dogs who wanted to come home with me.
