Today was a blustery day in Karang, and for some reason I thought of Mary Poppins. Hence this blogpost,
"If Mary Poppins were Senegalese":
- Her name would be Fatou; almost all women have that name.
- Her theme song would be "another spoonful of sugar and you WILL get Type 2 Diabetes. I mean it this time."
- A magic jump into a painting or drawing and one would just be in front of another mosque or a famous Maribou (sorry kids, no merry go round in this fantasy)
- As she floated away in the winds, her umbrella would melt, but her death would not be terrible, she'd die of heat exhaustion during the free fall.
