“I should explain something here. Thing is, people like to say bad stuff about vodou. The Kretyens, they have often made out that vodou is violent and dangerous and evil, when really it’s a religion like any other and it can be beautiful. So when I say this about the babies, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea. It’s not like it’s normal in vodou to grind babies up into powder. It’s pretty far from normal, in fact. It’s f****d up. But where I come from, it’s the same as anywhere else: there are always some people who are ignorant and superstitious. Those people, they thought the babies could be used for black maji, and that was why the babies would disappear.”

So basically this is a ridiculous part in this book, I just think its really funny and creepy to read. Anyway the boy and his sister just found a baby that had some lump on its forehead in the trash crying. Marguerite is a giver, she will go out of her way to help people. So she is about to take this baby and try to get it somewhere safe with someone safe, but hes worried what people will think of them carrying this abandoned baby they found in the garbage.
