Andre,

I have no response really except that you response to the story reveals
how your mind works. In actualy, from the little that I know, it is not
always the truth that both parents are valued the same in Mende
culture. but, we are not in the Mende culture. My son told me the
story and the context of the telling. he no longer remembers who told
the story, or why it may have come up. He also did not hear another
version in another situataion. He must have been around 8 at the time.

best, laura
