Not the way I wanted it though. So I'm reading my book at the guesthouse, waiting for my bus to Stung Treng, and I hear "hellooooo!" and this very well put together woman is standing before me holding this adorable baby girl in the most ridiculously cute frilly dress and matching bonnet I've ever seen. Like the sort of crap my mother used to dress me in before I could vocalize that I'd rather wear my brothers hand me down adidas soccer shorts. So I smile and say hello, and baby chat with the little one and next thing I know she sits this baby one my lap. Wide eyed, she just stares at me, seems in good spirits. Next thing I know she says "goodbyyyyye!" and disappears! Holy shit! I take it back, I take it back, I don't want a Cambodian baby, well, at least not a girl. Of course the baby, loosing sight of her mother, looses her shit and starts bawling, oh lawd, save me! Luckily, her father, or who I'm assuming was her father since she immediately stopped crying after seeing him, wondered in and took her off my hands. That was a little to close to comfort.
Fun fact: I may have given someone's child away today.
