Watch, Bagga, Looka, DVD Lady!
“Watch, looka, bagga lady! Watch looka bagga! Ok, DVD? DVD!”
“But I don’t want a watch, or a bag, or a DVD. I’m ok thanks, I’m just trying to cross the road without being hassled.”
“But looka lady, Gucci! Gucci! Bag!”
“But my Ayi already has that bag, I think she might be offended if I bought the same one as her. And I’m just trying to cross the road, I don’t want to buy anything.I’d just like to cross the road.”
“Ok, Calvin Kleina! Lady look bag.”
“Please go away, I really don’t want to buy anything”
And then I look down and some little fella is dusting off my boots and before I can protest I realize the light has changed back to red.
So I end up following someone down into some dirty back alley where they lead me into a room where a family is sitting huddled around a huge table. The oversized red tablecloth is pulled off like some magic trick waiting to happen…I edge slowly closer to the box and stare in at the largest DVD collection I’ve ever seen.
“Watch, bagga? Looka DVD lady..?!”
