Dung beetles!


The day I learned the Pulaar words for dandruff, dung beetle and fur was, perhaps not-coincidentally, that kind of day. As opposed to the type of day you imagine for someone who learned the words for daffodils and cream puffs. I think I’ll refer to days like these as “dung beetle days.” That way, the thought of dung beetles will make me burst out laughing, and my day will improve!
