So, some confusion reading this one. I start skimming this one and the character refers to another as "Bastard" which I am just thinking is a man who she dislikes.
She is Pregnant and then starts to talk to this character about it but then he asks her kid questions like how the baby got into her belly. So this confused me...
The discussion of whether it is a boy or girl reveals the old school thinking behind pregnancy. "The first one is supposed to be a boy." and that boys kick and hit in the whom where as a girl does not.
The names in this just confuses the junk out of me especially when I am multitasking when reading this... I have a family you know.
The character dreams of a big house in Budapest which tells me that they are not well off.
They meet up with a thin woman that is probably a tourist. Stuffing her mouth with food with a camera in hand. The other characters are unfamiliar with what it is so they are ignorant to the technology.
The thin lady throws what is left over of her food away which shocks the other characters as they have never seen anyone throw food away before.
It is finally reviled that the main character is 33 yrs old and the others are a bunch of kids. Bastard is eleven. So now it all makes sense.
...
Details about pooping.... OK these people are dirt poor. They go outside to squat.
End notes: It's a story about people who live a simple life. Although they are poor or seem poor, they are used to it. Not saying that it's not a bad thing but when you live without, without knowing that there is so much more you don't notice. The only thing that is concerning is food water and shelter. Everything else is fluff.
