This is what I luv about living and working in New York. After work I grabbed a cab to my destination, and was lucky to get a cabby that was a "chatty Kathy."
Ok, this was all good this evening because I was in the mood to chat myself.
Some nights after a day in the salon all I want not to do anymore is talk! I've been talked out! Yes, me, some nights I just want to go home and not talk, think about anything.
But on this night fate would bring the American girl and the guy from Senegal Africa together. He wanted to talk so of coarse it's my purpose to terrorize all foreigners with my Joan Rivers, Scarlett O'Hara, Rosalind Russell's personality.
He would ask his questions and I would give him cocky, smart ass answers. God luv this young man to have me in his cab.
He told me how old he was and where in Africa he was from. So I immediately googled it. I started reading out loud
Everything about his country. "Oh I said, your main language is French? What's up with that? You weren't occupied by the British. Next I see its located in western Africa on the Atlantic Ocean. So I told him I noticed that. I had to give him beef that his lovely country was smaller than New Jersey but had a population of twelve million people!!?? What the hell, where do you all sleep I said to him? He just laughed. Next and major thing, I'm a sports fan, I noticed Senegal had a national football team! Well, I woo hooed
this quit loud! "All right I said, you guys have a soccer team!" He started laughing and said how did you know that? I said, I googled your country knucklehead. Well now he's really laughing. Next thing he brings up is very interesting, and most foreigners bring this up when having a conversation with me. He says " English is a foreign language to me and I have hard time understanding your words, how can I learn English? Can I download something on my iPad?" I reply, " Your english is a foreign language to me as well," Lol, I say to this young lad, you have a few choices, yes you can download a program, or buy Rosetta Stone
Or you can hang out with me and learn real good old Americana slang. Ya, that's the real deal, with some excellent real Americana word usages. Tehe
Our ride came to an end. He soo wanted the information out of me. He said "Please miss," I really want to learn good English, I don't know where to go or what to do. Please help me. So I render myself to being serious and kind. "Ok, I said, I have a Russian girlfriend who took some English classes. I will get the information and call you and get you on your way.
So my homework for tonight is to contact my girl and see where we can get him classes.
I know what inspired him. It was my words. I'm Tricky Nicky with my words. Most foreigners get a kick out of me. He liked my American slang! That's what he wants to learn. I should make him pay me! You pay Tricky Nicky luv, ya'll learn real good old Americana words. He soo enjoyed his ride with me, he was thanking me for the ride!!! Hehe
