There is an old missionary joke about how to tell how long a missionary has been on the field.
When served food, if it is their first year, they ask for food to be exchanged if there are bugs in it. If it is their second year, they keep the food and remove the bug themselves. If it is their third year, and the bugs are not too large, they eat the food as is. And if it is their fourth year, and the food has no bugs, they send it back for food with bugs.
Anyway, Charity was reminded of this joke the other night. She was vigorously trying to remove all the bugs from our bed. I asked her to stop and to just please let us sleep!
