AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Buuuuuut in the end I was making her smile and laugh anywayZ!!! Weeeeellll basically cuz I was sooooooooo proud of myself cuz I started talkin some African English to her and she UNDERSTOOD ME!!!(African English is hard to explain...its sort of like broken english...shortenened and spoken really fast...NO this is NOT ebonics...LOLOLOL!!!) I said in our English, Did you like church today? And she just stared at me blankly...soooooo then I said it in African English and she nodded her head yes!!! I was soooooo excited I started whoopin and hollering...soooo then I was like in OUR English, Do you think I'm CRAZY? And she just stared at me blankly, so then I said it in African English and she shook her head...NO!!! And started laughing! AHAHAHA!!!
