Dec 9th
Location (Monrovia)

Context: I have been thinking a lot about snow lately.

Conversation:
Liberian staff: So what are you doing for Christmas? Are you staying in Liberia?
Me: No I'm going home, I want a white Christmas.
Liberian staff (with a complete look of shock on his face that such words just came out of my mouth): Ohhhh.
Me (hand slaps head): No no I mean white as in the snow is everywhere white.
Oh Danielle sometimes I really do not think before I speak.
