And then, I mean, because there were dogs in the house with a gate and people were scared of the dogs. So they'd call my name. Then I'd have to freaking get out of the house, go open, you know, go open the gate, fetch whoever, you know, is. Yes. So when I was walking anywhere with my grandparents, People will be talking to them.

And obviously because they want to be seen to be nice to the children too. They will speak to you as well. They will speak to me as well. And I suspect that's probably what kind of, I gained that kind of, but also a village is like everybody talks to everybody. And maybe I still have that kind of mentality. Yeah, you do. Where it's like, okay, oh, there's so-and-so. I'll say hi because I know them.

You don't talk to them for a reason. You just talk to people for the sake of... Yeah, you just talk to them because they're there. Because they're there. And I think that's probably where I get that from. And maybe that's why in most of my books, I can't help but write about the village, which I love.

Yeah. It's very different. It's almost... You know when you actually said... Yeah. I actually, I don't know if I'm thinking about this or I've seen it or I've read it somewhere, but it's almost like when it says Sunny Borna, because if I'm the one greeting you, right? Sunny Borna. It sounds like I am... Because it is me who's saying Santa Buona. So I'm saying we see you, right?

It sounds like I am... Because it is me who's saying Santa Buona. So I'm saying we see you, right?

So it almost feels like I'm saying me and my ancestors and everybody who comes with me sees you. So we're greeting you, right? So that's why I think what you just said is very profound that our greetings are plural, right? So it's everybody who comes before me also observes who you are as a human being. Whereas...

Like in the Western culture, it's starting to creep in where, you know, people are starting not to greet and all of that. But what usually happens, so like I'm busy and I run into you and I'm asking for directions. I walk up to you. So I don't know who you are. You're a stranger. And I come to you and I say, you know, we'll be KFC. And then we're like, and then you...

older people love doing this to you. And they were like, and they greet you. Oh, and you're like, oh man, they are really saying that. Oh, you didn't greet me basically by saying that. They're forcing the greeting. And then now you come down and you have to greet them. How are you? I'm fine. Fine. Thank you. All right. Oh, what did you want? Oh, okay. Directions to KFC.

And then they start offering you, you know, the direction. They tell you, they don't know where it is. And I think there's something really actually very, very profound about that. I think we take it for granted because we live here and we experience it. But every single person, including white people, they always say when they go overseas and they come back to South Africa, they talk about how...

They're like, you know what I miss about South Africa? They said people don't greet, like they don't greet anyone else.
