fat African babies do exist

Here is the African child I'll be adopting...

(He obviously wants to come to the US... or Disneyland)

There are generally 2 reactions young kids have to me here. A good portion start crying and running away when they see a white person coming their way. The rest are like this kid, cautiously curious. He is the grandson of the owner of an restaurant I often go too; the family was close to my former roommate and adopted me as well. We started out with a hand wave but every time I visit he comes closer and closer. Now he'll sit on my lap and I think by the time leave he might actually smile or talk.
