Ajus

This is Ajus hanging out at Om's house, as he does every Saturday when his mother comes to clean and mop. Om means uncle and is the name used for every adult male foreigner. Ajus does not speak, except to  his mother. He does not speak to Om, but he follows Om around the house and sits wherever Om sits. Ajus will nod in the affirmative or negative. Sometimes. Ajus generally refuses the food offered him by Om, but then eats it as soon as Om leaves the house. He will refuse a toy offered by Om, too; but then Om notes that the toy is gone when he returns to the house.
