This is what bragging in Benin looks like

Scene: three volunteers riding in the back of a bush taxi on the way to parakou, where they will part ways to spend Christmas in the far-flung places of Benin.

Vol 1: Oh, when I get any candy it's gone in like a day.

Vol 2: I have an entire box of chees-its waiting for me back in village. I had a bad day yesterday and I thought to myself... I need to eat those chees-its but I wanted to wait for a truly awful day.

Vol 1: Oh I have no shame eating an entire box of chees-its in one day. I get no less happiness if I eat them all at once or if I spread it out... so I just eat them all at once.

Vol 3: I still have half a bag of reese's cups still from when I went to America!

Vol 2: well you have to savor them! especially cuz they get all melty.

Vol 3: I unwrap the foil bit and then I eat the whole thing and spit out the paper wrapping when I'm finished since they are so melty.

Vol 2: Yeah I unwrap the whole thing--

Vol 1: BUT YOU LICK THE WRAPPER RIGHT??

Vol 2: oh yeah, of course. I unwrap it a little bit and then I stick my tongue in there and scoop the whole thing out.

Vol 1: Like an anteater?! Hahahaha



Now you have to guess which one is me. Good luck my little starfishes! Haha and merry almost Christmas!
