I was listening to a podcast from This American Life the other day. It was talking about this man who got in an accident that landed him in the hospital for a couple of months. While there, he watched a ton of TV. Sometimes there would be whole chunks of time where nothing he wanted to watch would be on. So he came up with this brilliant idea. Why not make a channel for people to watch IN BETWEEN the shows they actually wanted to see? The man wanted the channel to make people happy and for there to be no storyline so they could join at anytime. He finally decided on “The Puppy Channel”. No joke. It played 24 hours a day and all it was were these puppies doing random things with music playing in the background. It sounded like a really dumb idea….at least it did until the 3 of us met Jen.
We all decided that if there is going to be a channel to make people smile, it should have Jen on 24/7. Since the day we met her, she has become quite a fixture at our house. She has taught us to count in Luganda, listened to us babble on about our issues (which of course, she doesn’t understand) and just genuinely made our lives better. Here she is ladies and gentleman, our little friend Jen.
Jen teaches US to count.
