What is your Mayonnaise?

Hope everyone is well. I have been pretty busy lately. I am currently in Kombo for some work on my project proposals. One is a project for a community garden in my village Kerr Katim and the other is for the construction a fence for a local Lower Basic School near my village in Minteh Kunda. All is good both of these projects. I will inform everyone later if they are passed by Peace Corps and I get the go ahead. One funny thing happened to me recently that I thought I would share with you all. Minteh Kunda is a village about 2K from me on backcountry dirt road. I walk this road weekly because I have started a garden at the school and I am down there many days of the week to work on it. On one particular day though I was walking home when in the distance I see a boy on horseback coming towards me. This caught me attention because I never see people riding horses often. There is usually a cart attached behind the horse. When, you walk past someone you always greet them so as this kid sowly comes towards me I try a greeting in my local language...No reply ok...I think of another...No reply ok...Another greeting in another language...Nothing and we pass each other. Out of nowhere I hear in very clear english "What is your Mayonnaise?" I turn stunned by this comment. "What?" I say. "What is your Mayonnaise?" He says again. I think of what I like Kraft, Duke's, Helliman's he would know none of these. So I say "My Mayonnaise is Mohammed Baye What is your Mayonnaise?" He stares at me and says "Waaw, Mayonnaise Rek!" (Yes, Mayonnaise Only!)and starts going. I laughed the whole way back to village. I ask one of my sisters about this and she says in english "You know some people try to speak english and they are just stupid." I thought to myself...well put Awa well put.
