A phrase I will not ever forget…

August 6, 2005 Adam Walker Cleaveland

[This post is in honor of Georgette, pictured on the right with her grandson, Aram]

When I go home to America, there are some phrases that I will miss from my time in the Middle East, some of which include: “As you like, as you like” and “I give you good price…very good price, special discount for you my friend…” and many others.

But the one that I will never forget, that I heard uttered by my beautiful host-mother, for other a month and a half was this: “You eat??? SIT! EAT! EAT!! YOU MUST EAT!!”

And we would sit.

And we would eat. Because we wouldn’t know how to do anything but that…

We love you Georgette.
