For all of you who were worried about me, that I might not be ready for marriage I have news for you, I am now officially ready...not that there are many of you, I mean, I'm pretty certain most of y'all are confident I'm old enough, but if there happen to be any who are not...
Yesterday was the first day of the Eed (gross pictures to come and if you didn't catch last year's Eed, go to this link to scope it out: http://heathernafrica.blogspot.com/2006/12/2nd-a9ed.html) and I went to a friend's house and watched them slaughter their sheep. After that I hung out around the kitchen with the women, where they taught me how to cut up a sheep and cook it in some very interesting ways.
At one point one of the ladies called me over and asked 'are you married?' I told her no and she said 'good. Then watch this' and she showed me how to clean out intestines....and then how to braid them so that they will cook up well. After that she stood up and said 'so now you are ready for the marriage'.
Yep. Y'all watch out. I know how to clean and cook intestines. I'm not sure I will ever actually have to apply that talent...I'm pretty sure I hope I NEVER have to apply my skills, but if I do I will know how to do it well!

So you're back in the States and things are starting to get serious with your future boyfriend and he is asking you if you feel ready to take that next step. You say, "of course, let me braid you some intestines to prove it!"
It makes you wonder what we do that sounds as odd to them!
