Ball of nshima

I went to a graduation party on Friday. It was for a family friend of ours, she finished nursing school. She also happens to be Nigerian.

Walking out of the party later that night I was tired. And not just from chacha-ing real slow. I had realized a few things:
1. I still don't like dried fish.
2. I really like fried dough balls.
3. Nigerian games that involve people throwing money at you need to be enculturated into my family's celebrations.
4. Being surrounded by people who understand you is important.
5. I need to surround myself with people who understand me.
6. My dad likes to dance.
7. My dad is not a good dancer.
8. My brothers complete my humor.
9. I was born on the wrong continent.
10. You can learn a lot about someone by putting them back in their element.
