ANTHROPOLOGICAL

OBSERVATION #11:

A public weeping and gnashing of teeth represent the traditional ceremonial climax of the high school bash.

Jimmy opened the door. I was so jangled that for a moment I couldn’t process anything. I took two deep breaths, and then my anthropological training kicked in — my observational skills, distancing me from the scene. I was merely an observer. And it was Margo standing there. She looked beautiful.

ANTHROPOLOGIST’S NOTE:

A man in rural Zimbabwe often still must pay a roora, or bride price, typically ranging between five and ten cows, to the family of the woman he marries. The way she looked tonight, Margo would have gone for eleven cows at least.
