On my way out for a jog this evening I bumped into one of our partners walking to the shop with a volunteer from Uganda. Firstly they both insisted on having a photo taken with me, and then the following conversation took place:
Volunteer: So what's the secret?
Me: Sorry what?
Volunteer: Well you are fat like me but yet you have a flat stomach. How do you manage that?
Me: Ummm...
Volunteer: Well I have a great body right? A nice body don't you think? With nice legs and arms. And yet people think I am pregnant. Did you think I was pregnant when you saw me?
Me: Ummm...
Still takes me a minute to remember that I am being complimented with 'you are looking fat', and I don't need to take offence!
