Touché!

We are sitting around the fire one night after dinner when Jainabou and her friends suddenly shriek and scramble backwards.

They'd seen a frog.

I said, "I thought it was a scorpion, but...just a frog."

Fatou Sowe, who was sitting next to me, says, "But someone will not be brave around frogs."

"Yes, but it's just a frog."

Fatou Sowe nudges me in the ribs. "Someone had a frog and a mouse enter her house and screamed, 'Neene! Neene!'"

I need to learn how to say "touché" in Pulaar.
