I Like Big Butts...

...and I cannot Lie
Perhaps you know this song by Sir Mixalot?
My African Mom, Muna, was singing a similar type of song to a little baby who is learning to walk. She is a chubby little thing, really healthy and gorgeous. It goes like this:

gye fond day
gye fond day
[something that I don't know enough local language to remember so I can write down]
wong wong
wong wong wong
wong
wong

The translation:
really big butt
really big butt
you can't go wrong with a really big butt!
bum bum
bum bum bum
bum
bum

It's very rhythmically sung, so the baby generally shakes her 'really big butt' and nearly falls over.
Absolutely hysterical.

Yes, this is making our own fun in the village. :)
