Of Mice and Men: Episode 3 - Phyllis, Milly, and Rattigan

This week I have two amazing visitors from Cyprus: Phyllis and Milly. Don't let those feminine names fool you - they are two super fun 17 yr old boys, and they are working, painting, playing with kids, and overall, being a HUGE blessing. Their names are actually Phil and Mladen, but more on the odd nicknames later. These two chicos decided to brave the R.O.U.S.'s (rodents of unusual size) and sleep out in the art centre. We hadn't seen any furry friends since Minnie (see previous posts for details), so the boys were sure they'd be fine. Until they woke up this morning to fresh rat droppings...then they started to wonder about the wisdom of their choice of lodging. They caught glimpses of their visitor today, but after dinner at Grand Cafe, they decided they could handle it and headed back to the art centre. Upon arrival, they began to regret their choice. I just spoke with Phil on the phone, and the dear boys are currently recording on film their attempts to get Rattigan out of their bedroom and then out of the art centre. I guess I'll have to wait til tomorrow to find out who wins.
