Our Personalized English

The British have the Queen's english
Americans have their American english
We Ghanaians have our english too. No, not pidgin english.
I'm talking about the english that will make you smile at the very least.
Our english could make you burst out in laughter even when someone is talking serious matter.

We know exactly what "Don't bring yourself" means.
When someone says "I was tired like this!", you totally understand. No need to ask "tired like what?"
My personal favorite is  "I was sitting my somewhere and then......."

I love our english!

Well my lovely people. I'm going and come.

Frightening Question

At different times today, I overheard 2 conversations about the same subject.
It involved a curious kid plus a stumped parent in each instance.
Kid asks parent "where do babies come from".

There are numerous clean answers to come up with, it amazes me how that question scares some parents.

Since I'm so nice, I'm putting it out there so you can get a head-start to come up with a good clean answer before some kid asks you "where do babies come from".

How about starting with "Babies come from their mom's tummy".

If I Could See Tomorrow

Scratch that.
If I were psychic, (Oh Lord!) I'd be passing out winning lotto numbers like an Alajo to Kaneshie trotro mate giving out change.
My fantasy would be to hit the jackpot of every lottery organization in the world. Oh, and I will make it happen. That would keep me busy enough that I wouldn't have time to set up shop reading palms at street fairs
What's the deal with psychics? How come they supposedly have this talent to predict stuff but have no clue what's in their future?

It's Finally Friday!

I got a hundred dollars smokin' in my billfold
I know I oughta save it but it's burnin' a hole
Right through my pocket and into my skin
Come Monday morning I'll be broke again.
Chorus
It's finally Friday, I'm free again
I got my motor running for a wild weekend
It's finally Friday, I'm outa' control
Forget the workin' blues and let the good times roll.

Magic!

A magician performing at a kid's birthday party had a grown-up man spooked.

Magician wrapped an empty bottle in a newspaper & started pressing it up against the man's abdomen.
His other hand was against the man's back.
The trick:
He pushed the bottle through the man's beer-belly and pulled it out from his back.

I've been telling him it was just a trick but he still thinks it actually happened.
You don't fall for magic tricks, do you?

I'm So Jealous

By the time I wake up Thursday morning, my beautiful people in GH will be in extended-weekend-mode.
The weekend for some of them, will most likely start at lunch time and won't end till they get back to their respective workplaces on Tuesday morning.
Gosh I miss my GH!

Left or Right

Studies show that people tend to turn right when they enter a room.


[I bet this will have you consciously trying to turn left anytime you enter a room. let me know how hard it is to not turn right.]

Some studies might seem absurd, but the results are useful. I had to take this into account when helping with the layout of a public showcase.
