Last week as I started down our wet muddy hill I was mzungued by a group of uniformed school kids, who I proceeded to lecture from my bike as I coasted on how they ought to call me dada (sister) or mwalimu (teacher) instead of mzungu, just before I hit a slick patch and completely wiped out on the road. (in Swahili) "Say 'How are you, dada'!"
