It just so happens that a little while back (several months ago) I left
my village for approximately one week and came back to a very pleasant (but
questionable) surprise. One of my
coworkers was preggers...VERY preggers...like 6 months preggers! lol (Unless she managed to squeeze 6 months of
pregnancy into just one short week, I definitely need to be more
observant...btw she's not someone who can hide a pregnancy, she's about a size
2 without the slightest bit of meat on her bones). Anywho, this is my same coworker who just had
a wedding two months prior o.O
*SN: I'm not judging. It's just
that based on Rwadan culture, pregnancy (even sex) before marriage is frowned
upon...or so I thought (apparently I was wrong).
At any rate, shocked at her "unorthodox" pregnancy, I opted
to ask one of my coworkers the obvious, "Is she pregnant?" My coworker looked at me and said with a
mischievous smile, "I will tell you in a moment when everyone is gone
[from the office]." When it was
just the two of us and the conversation began, I just about fell on the floor laughing at his
many responses. See the entire
conversation below:
Me: Is ----- pregnant??
Coworker: Yes,
but you see, she is married last year.
Me: Yeah,
in December...that was TWO months ago!! She has to be at least 3 or 4 months because
you can see it...A LOT!
Coworker: It is
growing fast. *laughter*
Me: Babies
don't grow that fast.
Coworker: Maybe
her husband, he was to take a taste...they click the mouse before...they danced
before the music...
Me: *hysteric
laughter* Where in the world did he learn
these phrases???
Coworker: Maybe
he want to test it out before. Haha!
At this point, my only response was hysteric laughter
as he went on and on with one-liners on how the newly married, preggers couple
tested the waters before they tied the knot.
But then the conversation took a turn for the worse (which can always be
expected when dealing with this guy).
I'm assuming the shock of the situation (more from his
comments than the near-wedlock child) was written all over my face because he
proceeded to ask me (very randomly), "If we were to make a baby, then you
would keep it?" My response,
"We won't [make a baby] because I am waiting until I am
married." "But suppose we make
a mistake," he joked (at least I hope he was joking). "We won't make a mistake because I will
not do that." Not to mention you're married and 100% DISGUSTING! Yuck! Very
clearly amused with himself and the conversation, my coworker proceeded to ask
me, "So when you are married, if the sex is bad, you will stay with
it? You must try before to know it isn't
bad." Here is where I began to
ignore my coworker the way I always do when he takes a conversation too far;
and as I'm ignoring him, he belted out one final line about my preggers
coworker, "Her husband eat the food before the ceremony and he enjoy it.
hahaha! "
Finally, after a couple minutes of silence I swore
to myself to never ask my perverted coworker anything within the realm of sex
and pregnancy ever again...and then I thanked God that the conversation was
finally over--or so I thought. The
silence was just a precursor for what would come next. He was searching the work computer, I
repeat, WORK COMPUTER, for something I
didn't even need to know was there. Once
he found what he was looking for, he said to me, "Sista look! Look sista!" I moved my attention from my laptop to the
work computer and immediately made it known, "I don't want to see
that." "But sista look!" "I don't want to see that!" I
replied and then proceeded to leave the room.
Oh how I wish this were America and I could charge
this guy with sexual harassment; but I'm not, and I can't *sigh*
Love and Peace Corps,
