I came out of the house and was
greeted by a pair of the whitest male legs I have ever seen. I started to
giggle, then laugh then lose my cool completely. In-between my manic giggling I
apologized profusely “I am sorry, it has just been a really long time since I
have seen a male Muzungus legs.” Reid, the American Engineering without Borders
student stood in his bright red short shorts and long white tube socks and
shook his head at me. I am sure there are many complex psychological reasons as
to why I was laughing and any psychology students reading this would probably
agree. Mostly though, no one bares their knees in Uganda and since everyone I
see has black skin, his legs seemed to be quite the oddity.
