Last night the kids and I were all awake in the middle of the night. The house in which we are staying is small and the four of us are sleeping together in one small room. So it is middle of the night, we’re all awake and they are hungry and I can’t really fix them much. I’m not comfortable cooking in an Indian kitchen because everything is so different, plus I couldn’t do it without waking everyone else up and I don’t want to do that. Instead we pull out a jar of peanut butter I’ve tucked into our luggage. We sit in near darkness with only a flashlight or a bit of illumination and we have the first meeting of the “Midnight Peanut Butter Club”. J The kids think this is fun, of course. And once our tummies have been satisfied we read a book and try to stay as quiet as we can until morning comes.
