I’m finally getting more and more of the village kids to
call me madam instead of mzungu (Kiswahili for white person). All but the Olives kindergartners, at
least. We were doing well until
yesterday when I walked by a lot in a tree that started calling me Madam
Monkey. I let it go until they did it
again on my way by this morning. I’m
still investigating where on earth this came from as I have absolutely no clue,
but you can be sure I’ll report back straight away if I do manage to solve the
mystery.
Update: My super sleuthing, aka asking the kindergartners outright, has turned up exactly zero bits of useful information. I'm afraid the world may never know how Madam Monkey came to be.
