Mustafa has convinced Adam that he should help out with the painting by scraping the old pealing paint of the kitchen ceiling. I'm not sure how he managed to convince Adam to do that, but something tells me there must be some big-time money involved to get Adam enthusiastic about being up on a ladder with a scraper.
Money is always a big issue with Adam. Probably it's a big issue with most 16 year old males. He wants all the fun gadgets like MP3 players and the latest in mobile phone technology (at least what's the latest here). So he's up there scraping away and he has a smile on his face - there must be money involved! I am not asking any questions. As long as the work gets done and it's not coming out of my pocket.
I am not sure how I am going to prepare meals for the next few days, but I'm sure we won't starve. I see lots of sandwiches in our near future.
