Kenyanisms

The longer we are in Kenya, the more cultural things I learn.  I have two funny ones to share today that have confused me to no end, but I think I'm getting the hang of!  Now I find myself saying "Yes, please" and flashing eyebrows.  Here's how it goes:

Exhibit 1:

You didn't do your homework?

Yes, please.

So you did do your homework?

No, please.

Did you or did you not do your homework?

Yes, please.

Ummm...brain freeze!

Exhibit 2:

Hello!

Fine, fine.

Are you doing well today?

(quickly rasied eyebrows)

I'm sorry, I don't think you heard me.  Are you doing well today?

(another eyebrow flash)

Oh....sorry, I forgot.  The eyebrow flash thing means yes.  I'm glad you are well!
