You know, the craziest and most absurd conversations happen here in Africa.
It must be the fact that sometimes we just speak two different languages but seriously there is just something about communication which puzzles me.
A: Do you want to go today or tomorrow?
B: Yes.
A: Yes what?? You wanna go today?
B: Yes.
A: So you don't want to go tomorrow?
B: Yes
A: YES WHAT?????
B: Yes
A:......
Oh dear.. I mean the first time it's actually hilarious but then it just kills you.
so I'm trying this new method where I don't ask YES/NO questions.
Quite hard actually, I mean 80% of our daily questions are YES/NO questions but an alternative has to be found.
So the new conversation would be something like:
A: When do we go to x place?
B: Tomorrow
A: Ah GREAT!! (see? it's working, I'm so proud of myself!) so tomorrow we can go back to juba!
B: Yes!
A: ...
seriously, GO FIGURE
