That’s what I had to explain to my mother; Ain’t no rule says a dog can’t shit in our yard.

I lived next to air bud as a kid. My mom hated the dog because the owners would let it roam around and it would shit in our yard.

Where does it say imperialist is a no-go?

Does it say they don’t want an imperialist nation?

Spouse is Kenyan and I have learned a fair bit of Swahili. My spouse is fluent in English, Swahili, and their tribal language which I know basically none of.

I never could have imagined how much it would help me understand them better by understanding their language. It has profoundly changed me as a person.

Language is not purely functional, it is woven into who we are and how others perceive us to be. I started learning to simply participate more with them and their family, now I am experiencing my brain be rewritten.

As a person who only spoke English well into adulthood and then is rapidly learning a very different language and culture, I feel like I have a POV that nobody else in my life understands.

Thanks for asking :)

How do you forget step 3!
