Taboo

written Saturday, 28 April 2007

This week my Mandinka class went to one of our families' houses to practice Mandinka. We found out (because one of the girls was doing it) that curling your toes down (like you might do to stretch them a little) means that you hope your parents will die soon. So if you do it accidentally and people notice, they will think you want your parents to die and that you are a bad person. Watch out!
