Yesterday afternoon Adam and I were having a conversation with Levert, the clinical officer at BCC that lives with us at Anne’s, about his uncle’s wedding. We asked if his uncle from Kenya married a Kenyan and then I asked if they were both from the Luo tribe. Levert said actually his family is Luhya, but Luo is one of two tribes in Kenya that are long-sleeved. A little confused Adam said, what do you mean? Do they wear long-sleeves to guard against mosquitoes? Laughing hysterically, Levert said no, actually long-sleeved are those tribes that do not circumcise, and, yes, those that do are called short-sleeved. Believe me, we had a good laugh about this one… cultural miscommunications can definitely be funJ Just like time mishaps.
