Are You Here?
A ‘Ghanaianism’ for “do you live/work here?” So, a young man in originally black or brown (can’t tell which) jeans walked up to me at Zenith Bank to ask. Maybe it was my ‘bankeresque’ snazzy suit. I aimed at him with my purest poker face, and then sneered, “If you can see me standing here, then I must be here!”

Nana Yaw--chaley; you be hard! That's a more discreet way of putting it; I would have been harder!!
ReplyDeleteeeeei,Nana
ReplyDeleteNY: again the things that happen to you! Very funny and interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a response... happened to me just a couple of days ago at Melcom plus and I must sa i was much less gracious to the elderly woman... I just didnt see the resemblance between me and the mall attendants.
ReplyDelete@ Anon: Yes, me.
ReplyDelete@ Kwame Mensa-Bonsu: These things happen to all of us all the time. I only have a notebook in which I chronicle them.
@ Kobby Asamoa: Hey man, wish you'd come here more. At Melcom, huh? Still cannot imagine you losing your head.
