Dirty Words

Last night I learned words that no one should learn.

They were dirty words from another Native American tribe. I'm Navajo and I don't even know any Navajo words -dirty or otherwise. But last night I learned more words from that tribe than my own.

It was a blast, I have to admit.

This gives you an insite as to what we AIJI students are up to when all our work is done and we have some free time on our hands. (Not that we talk about dirt things all the time...)

We gather in a friend's room, Victoria was getting her hair dyed -in this case it was Neda's room- and we just talk -in this case we talked about dirty words from our different languages.

It might seem immature but we spent all day -and these past two weeks- in redundant maturity working with deadlines and editors. We all needed to get away from the seriousness of our careers and joke around about dirty words and be the kids that we still are.
