I’m honestly concerned about the kind of people we are becoming. Yesterday, I visited a couple in my business circle. To be fair, I had other things that took me there… but also, let me not lie, my stomach had its own independent agenda.
So I get there, and the lady politely asks, “What can I offer you?”
Now, as a well-brought-up human being who still respects culture and subtle begging… I said, “I’m okay.”
Not because I was okay.
But because I was waiting for the second round of asking. You know… the “Are you sure? At least take something small…” — that’s when I would now say, “Okay, just a little.” Like a respectable hungry person.
She said, “Okay.”
The husband? Also said, “Okay.”
OKAY?! Just like that?! No follow-up? No pressure? No cultural persistence??!
My stomach paused. Even it was confused.
Next thing, the husband announces, “I’m famished. Let’s take a break so we can eat, then continue later.”
Friends… when the aroma of that food reached me, it didn’t just pass my nose — it touched my soul. My ancestors stood up.
My stomach started rumbling like it was filing a formal complaint. Tears formed. Real tears. But I had to stay strong. I picked my phone and started scrolling like a CEO of Hunger Management Ltd.
Tell me, what kind of people don’t insist? Even once? Not even a “sure?” with eye contact??
We are truly losing our culture. Because how do you let a visitor sit there… hungry… dignified… suffering silently… when you have food?! 😢
but you said you're okay😂😂😂
