Women Talk Too Much...All Over the World

Februrary 4, 2011

Katie Mae and Sheldon have bought their tickets to Ghana!!!!!!  YIPPEEEEE.  I’m so excited! They’ll be here at the end of March; so I’m staying in my village and saving my cedis so I can travel around with them when they get here.  And Katie Mae is bringing my new SLR camera!!!!! And a double cheeseburger from McDonalds!!!!!  :)  I can’t wait to hang with someone who actually knows me and understands me and…I’m just so happy!!!

So today I went to HoHoe to pick food and supplies for the women’s group  (the headband expansion is in full swing).  I was at my friend’s shop hanging out and a man and woman came in. She left her bags and went somewhere while the man stayed to buy the liquor.  So he’s done picking what he needs and is paying. He starts mumbling (in English) about how she is off somewhere talking.  “This woman.  She goes off and starts talking somewhere.  I am finished; where is she?  Talking somewhere!  Oh!”  And then he sticks his head outside to look for her. He gets his change and keeps mumbling.  I’m cracking up…it’s the same everywhere.  Men griping that the women talk too much …  I was so tickled. Wisdom, my friend, was watching me trying not to laugh, so he starts laughing and the man notices and turns to me and says, “I am sorry sister, but women! Oh, they make no sense!  They go off and talk for a long time.  Talk about nothing!”  LOL.  “Oh brother, it is the same everywhere. The men in my country say the same.  Oh, but you still love us!”  “Oh, yes. We love you.  Women are fine.”  It was really funny.  Things like this, make my day.
