When the roar of the street repair vehicles fills the early morning airwaves, Marash Girl's mind goes back to an old Armenian expression, an expression that she heard throughout her childhood . . . Bashladu! What does it meant literally? "It's begun!" But more figuratively, it means aggravation of the speaker: "Oh, no, that's begun again!" It could refer to a complaining child, or an unpleasant request, miserable weather, the repeated request of a cranky child, or simply what's happening today: the unending roar of street repair vehicles! Here it goes again . . . it's begun!
