Quote of the Week

Buying a soda at the local gas station after work, I hear a tiny voice yell "Mzungu!" ("White person!") I look up and see a very small, very excited little girl rushing into the store with a huge smile on her face. She comes right up to me, beaming, and extends her hand confidently. I say "Hello! How are you?" and extend my hand. She grabs my hand in a death grip, swirls back to look at her mom, and announces across the store in perfect English, "This is my mzungu!"

Always good to feel wanted.
