Conversations with Rugi: Corn!

This conversation took place back when the corn was just coming into season and people were roasting it ALL THE TIME. I'm visiting with Rugi's mom (Fatou) and her dad (Alaji) is also there.

Alaji: Binta, will you drink ataya?
Me: No, now I will not drink ataya.
Fatou: If Binta drinks ataya now, she will not sleep. She drinks it in the morning only.
Me: It's true. If I drink ataya now, I will not sleep.

A few minutes later:

Fatou: Binta, will you chew some corn?
Me: No, I'm full.
Rugi: If you chew corn, you will not sleep?
