Q & ***
So, you’re from Africa?”
“Yes, I am.”
“When did you come to the United States?”
“In 2007.”
“Cool, so did you see any lions?”
“Yes. At the Zoo.”
“Did you have running water?”
“Yes. So much so that I was forced to take a shower every night.”
“Did you have electricity?”
“Yes, I almost got electrocuted once.”
“Did you go to School?”
“Wish I didn't. Every weekday at 8 I was there.”
“Then, do you speak African?”
“…. No. As talented as I'm not good enough to speak an entire continent worth of languages. I mean do you speak North American?”
Real questions I'm been asked. Knowledge is powerful, but fails to be useful in the hands of the ignorant and simple minded
