My Dad's View
~ by ~

My dear departed father had an unambiguous theory about people.
He told me that their personhood is predetermined by the manner they come out of their mothers' wombs.
• The greedy people emerge with one hand out in a grasping manner,
• ... the lazy people show their buttocks to the world first,
• ... restless people slide their feet out first,
• ... the talkers come out with their mouths open,
• ... and last, but certainly not least, the thinkers present the top of their head (their scalp) slowly and they begin using their brains immediately!
There we have it all explained away the Ethiopian way!
