Life Is Hard

Life is hard! The college coed said. The finals were horrible, agreed her pal, Ned. They signed up to go to a third world country for “fun”. Chosen as number thirty, and thirty-one. The plane ride was horrible! The college coed said. No food at all, and the movie was dead! They watched the African women collect water from a stream. Where are the faucets? Indoor plumbing? They asked their team. The African women had to walk ten miles a day. At the age of seven, they had learned to give up all play. Life is not so bad the college coed said on the way home. They didn’t even have an I-pad or a cell phone!
