Cherop Lydia from Africa 2-6-07

I was standing in the bathroom packing my bag when this young lady came up to me and started asking me about why I was here in this country. I told her my job sent me here and I am here to do some networking. She asked my name and I told her and she said it was very difficult to pronounce so I told her to just call me Jaye. Her name is Lydia, hence the title. She then went on to ask me if I had children and I replied yes I have 2 handsome little boys. She asked their names and I told her. She then asked where was the father and I told her they were adopted, she looked at me like I was smoking a pipe. I asked he what was wrong, and she stated that in Africa I would be abnormal because I did not give birth to them. In Africa you have to give birth to at least 3-4 children in order to get resources and to help harvest the land. She stated that things will be changing because of the limited welfare resources they do not require women to have so many children. I told her I would try to visit Africa sometime to see what it is like there. Then she asked if I knew Oprah.
