New Greeting


       I forgot to mention something about town yesterday. On the way back we had to stop and pay for the next month of internet. While Lauren and I were waiting on the putt-putt (that is what we call the vehicle that takes us to town a lot, it’s a tractor type thing that has a flatbed behind the driver where we all sit) a couple Bengali guys came up and  were wanting to talk. Their greeting still causes me to smile. What they said was, “May we introduce with you?” I just ignored them and Lauren answered saying no. That caused a few to leave, but the one that had spoken came back and tried again repeating his, “May we introduce with you?” I was trying not to laugh in his face, but I was also trying to figure out if he meant, ‘may we converse with you?’ or ‘may we introduce ourselves?’ We didn’t answer again, but when we were on our way again, I told Banni and Chantel and we all had a good laugh!
