Times have changed in our islands, and they can be seen in the differing generations living in the same home, such as this one when a mother, daughter and grandmother were talking.
Mother : Oh no! I think I lost my passport! I can't find it. Now I have to drive to Rev and Tax and apply for a new passport.
Daughter : No mom you can apply for an emergency passport and after you finish your trip then apply for a new one.
Mother : I don't know what to do. Grandma, what do you say?
Nånan Biha : Ta tåyuyut si San Antonio.
(Grandma : Let's pray to Saint Anthony.)
Saint Anthony is the patron saint of lost things, and the passport is lost. That was grandma's solution.
