More on Arame Yvone

Here are some more great Arame Yvone moments:

She kept asking me if she could use my camera and my phone and I kept saying no, so she asked for less valuable things like my floss and toothbrush. Finally I said she could have a squirt of hand santitizer, which she was really excited about. Her response was: "Oh Emma, you are very tolerant!"

We went for a run, which is always a fun experience with Arame Yvone because she will continuously talk the whole time, usually about how strong we're gonna get because we're exercising. She also will often ask for a break, and then when we stop tell me that we can't stop we have to keep running. So then I make her stop to catch her breath, and then she gets mad at me and says "don't lie to me Emma, I know you want to run." One time we ran to the monument and climbed the stairs so we could see all of dakar. When I said it was time to go she took a deep breath and said "I couldn't possibly. How could I ever leave this view!"

My favorite moment was one morning at 7 am when I dragged myself out of bed and left my room to go to the bathroom. Arame Yvone was in the hallway. I was wearing PJs and had bed head and said bonjour to her in a really sleep voice, and she responded "Emma you are so pretty. When you sleep, you sleep profoundly." This was definitely not a true statement, particularly at that moment in time, but I appreciated the compliment none the less.
