Faux pas

Today,I told my mom that a friend was coming over for lunch. However, my friend was not able to make it and behold, when I came home, my mom had more food and meat, than usual. She then asked me where my friend was......I didn't know how to answer in Bambara,so I just said "haketo! haketo! haketo!" sorry, sorry, sorry! maaaan, i think she was pissed because she had bought extra meat for my guest! Later, I had Abdraman explain what had happened and Djenneba forgave me. Plus, someone else got to eat the meat i didn't eat, so it didn't go wasted. Whew!
