Doña Candelaria (our host-mom), was told by a local NGO that Rosbin (our 7-year-old host-brother) is malnourished. Later, when Lesvia (our host-sister) asked Rosbin to hand her a basket that was high on a shelf, he said he could not: “I can’t help you because I am malnourished!” Again, we all had a good laugh.
What is Doña C supposed to do with the information that Rosbin is malnourished, now that he is 7-years-old? Especially when the advice given to her was to take a Vitamin B-complex supplement and “pay attention to how he is eating”?
At least Rosbin can use his malnourishment as an excuse to avoid helping around the house. And this morning at breakfast he was running around the kitchen saying that the vitamin supplement will turn him into King Kong, similar to the effect of spinach on Popeye.
