Emailed Question From Mom

Topic: Describe in Haitian Creole one (or more) of the weird interactions you've had door knocking. Ready, go.... 

Here's a little story in creole about some knocking experiences:

Ok, gen anpil bagay ki vreman bizare ke nou jwenn lè nou fe pòtapòt, m pa ka jwenn yon sèl! Lòt jou a, nou te frappe sou pòt yon nèg, e nou te mande li "Kijan ou ye jodi a?" e li te di "Pye kraze." Li te komik, li te vreman kalm. M te explike "ministè ki te tonnen mal" deja, sa sete ekspiryans pi komik epi bizare. Map pense de sa, epi poutèt semèn pwochen m ka jwenn plis bagay.

(Ok, there's a lot of things which are really bizarre that we find when we do door to door, I can't find just one! The other day, we knocked on one guy's door, and we asked him "How are you today?" and he said "Broken toe." It was funny, he was very calm. I explained the "minister gone bad" already, this was the most funny and bizarre experience. I'll think about it, and maybe next week I can find more stuff.)
