pass the baby and other games

I came back to Stone town today in a Dala Dala. It was so full its more like a game of shuffle your buns and pass the baby. First the mama hands her baby to the person nearest the door. She climbs in the back of the truck hunches over walks to the back of the truck bed and sits down. Of course there are no seats left so she is sitting on someone else. This is where the shuffle your buns part comes in. You sit down wiggle back and forth and eventually your butt is wedged between to people. Once mama's butt is firmly wedged in. Its time to play pass the baby. Her baby gets haned down the aisle person by person until reunited with its mommy. Its a fun game. You should play sometime.
