Where's Bill Cosby when you need him?

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Where did that lady's color go?"
-small child to his mother upon seeing me

"You have your own helmet. That is very wise. I can see that you love your life."
-boda driver

"You ask too many questions."
-small child to me after observing my interview with her mother about employment opportunities in Uganda

"You, madam, are worth MANY cows."
-Boda driver pickup line in reference to the Ugandan tradition of bride price

"What tribe is she from?"
-small child asking my Ugandan colleague where I come from
