Another overheard interchange at the resthome…

…when I saw my one (Nigerian) coworker bump into a(n African-American) caregiver who was just getting on shift:

“It’s been a long time,” he was like, immediately after they both said hello.

. . .

(I noticed that he said this to me a few months ago, after a period where I hadn’t seen him in a while – perhaps he’s translating into English some Nigerian greeting custom, maybe something from Yoruba?)
