You know you're a Missionary Kid When...(by Marisol)

1. Your school is located on No. 1 Jungle Street (It's true!)

2. You have instant "pets" in your home...geckos, fuzzy creatures, huge spiders...

3. Your choices of TV channels are either fuzzy channel 1 or fuzzy channel 2...soccer and news! (if you're lucky you might catch fuzzy channel 3.)

4. Getting "something special" means when your mom buys you a TWIX candy bar from the local grocery store...Maxmart!

5. You get excited about owning your own fan!

6. You're exited about hot water.

7. The closest thing to modernization is the internet cafe.

8. Your mom hangs up laundry in your room to dry when it's raining outside!

9. It's a miracle if you ONLY loose power in your school 6 times a day!

10. Your lucky if your air condition works.

11. The joke "Why did the chicken cross the road..." is a reality.

12. When you have goats and chickens in your Sunday School room!

13. When an exciting conversation takes place over having popcorn as a snack at school!

14. Family night means sitting around the laptop to watch a DVD movie around a laptop.

15. When your friends get excited about buying a nightstand for their bedroom!

16. When your parents yell at you for mishandling a precious flashlight!

17/ When getting a good deal means haggeling for hours to get something for just a few dollars.
