Sometimes no matter where you go in life.. how much you integrate into a culture... your 'home' culture will still shine through... Today's shopping was one of those times. We were walking through the mens department at the local department store... We always have to laugh at some of the clothes here for men... lets just say they are somewhat feminine in our mind... pink polo shirts are a norm.... It's unfortunate that our cultural background still makes us pause about those things... (it did in Africa too...so apparently men wearing pink is only an American cultural no no...) Anyway... the pink shirts w/ poof sleeves we got over... but when looking for mens briefs... no way... PINK undies... now that was just too much for even us! So between the pink undies and the department store worker dancing with the manequin and having him (the manequin) hug and hold her... we left the department store trying to contain our laughter. The day that these types of things don't make me laugh... I've either completely lost my sense of humor... or completely integrated... one or the other!
On a seperate funny note... Some remember from our old blog when I wrote about Meggie and I's conversations when I shower her... This time the conversations went like this... (me) So... what do you want to do/be when you get big?... (Meg)... I want to be a mommy... (me) Oh yeah... why? (Meg)... because I want to have long clean nails! (me) Ok... any other reason?... (Meg) Yeah... and I want to be a mommy so I can cook...
I have to laugh because I don't have long nails (although they are clean... long nails just aren't an option when you're a midwife). And honestly... I rarely have cooked since living her in the Phils... so anyway... I have no idea where this girl comes up with this stuff... but it keeps life entertaining!
