Everyday we see and hear something strange. These are the things that make the day interesting, and since I can't share them at the dinner table, I thought I'd just put them up here for all the chuckle about...
Today I was driving behind a minibus, and there was an ad taped onto the back window saying "WIFE WANTED. CONTACT 09 290 051." Hey, nothing wrong with being straight forward right?
Yesterday, I was driving one of my nurses home. She's sweet, but between the two nurses, shes a bit more...manipulative. I am contemplating getting a kitten to keep me company, and I asked how to say cat in Chichewa. She said "Shashi". I thought that was adorable and thought I'd name the cat Shashi. I came home and told my wonderful house helper, Sheena, and said "Sheena, I am thinking of naming it Shashi!" She looked very suprised. I said, "it means cat in Chichewa right?"...apparently cat in Chichewa is "mpaka" and shashi is a very slang word meaning "very rich person." This is make for an interesting conversation at work on Monday...
Well, besides the usual weird things you see here - rats being sold fried on a stick along the highway, guys begging you to buy mops when you pull up to get gas - that's about all for now. I'll keep you all posted....
Now I need to add the prospective husbands phone number into speed dial. You never know when you might need one of those guys around... just kidding
