Currently some Barbie Girl from a Barbie World is singing at the top of her lungs "Jingle Bells" downstairs. The sound flows pungently unhindered up the ungan (large opening to the sky for air to flow in the hot season) from little Mariam's new toy. Mariam lives downstairs and is six months younger than Zana. She is a little zinger who, refreshingly, holds her own with Abe and Zana.
So........ as Jingle Bells shrilly shrieks at me from below I thank God for silence and think maybe like Susanna Wesley I'll put an apron over my head and go on strike. If half of what wikipedia says is true about the woman she was a force to be reckoned with. Maybe she had two hundred people attending her "sermons" while her husband was away but I doubt she had to put up with the lax ways of letting your children stay up till after midnight playing music.
