Any time you see a white girl, follow these instructions, exactly.
1 - Ask her her name.
2 - Ask her where she comes from.
3 - Ask her if she is married.
Seriously. That is the systematic order. Without fail.
"No tudd?"
"Fo joge?"
"Am nga jeker?"
I've mastered the system though. My answers are:
Eva. (that's all they can understand. There is no 'h' in Wolof, and the 'b' is a bit unusual)
Man waa Canada la.
Waaw.
Heba.
I'm from Canada.
And yes, I am married.
That's how to keep them away.
Even better: "My husband is Senegalese." Then they really like you.
But lately, I've decided to have a little fun. When the taxi man asked me to marry him the other day, I said, "Sure, we'll go to the mosque this weekend. But as long as you kill 3 sheep." He answers: "Three? I can't afford three." I say, "Well I'm sorry; I can't accept any less." It's quite an enjoyable game.
Except when it came from the 103-year-old on the bus. (so he said anyway). Then I wasn't so much in the mood to joke. I said yes right away!
