Ummm, thanks?

Here, it is a compliment to be called fat. As in, “Oh, Chifunda, you are looking very fat today!” If you are fat it means you have a good job and enough money to eat lots of food.

So I guess I should have felt good when someone said to me yesterday, “I looked at you and thought you were pregnant!”

I guess I should lay off the nsima a bit.

In the photo of you in your July 20 post you look far from pregnant or fat!

Well I guess I can stop worrying about finding a small enough size of the shirt I want to buy you!!

Thanks, Kendra. I'm pretty sure I'm not gaining significant weight and in my defense I was sick that day and probably looked a bit puffy.
