Help me write. I’m really pondering on this on how African mothers do this. How do they manage to ridiculously bargain prices? Like I literally went to the local market with my mother and they told us this tuber if yam is N6,500.. how did my mom end up
I'm really pondering how African mothers do this. It's astounding! The way they manage to bargain prices is nothing short of a talent. Just the other day, I went to the local market with my mom. We approached a seller who told us that a tuber of yam was N6,500. I couldn't believe my ears! But somehow, by the end of our conversation, my mom had bought it for just N1,500. I swear, this is a major skill!
It's like African mothers have a secret playbook for bargaining that the rest of us know nothing about. They seem to have an innate ability to read the seller, understand the market, and negotiate prices that make you question how the original price was even set. I sometimes feel like I'm witnessing a magic show when my mom goes into negotiation mode.
While she’s bargaining, I often find myself feeling a bit nervous. What if the seller gets angry? You know how traders can be; if you price their products too low, they can start insulting you. Yet, my mom does this with such confidence and ease! It's almost like a dance between her and the seller. There's a rhythm to her words and a calmness to her demeanor that just works.
Honestly, I’m dumbfounded. It’s not just about saving money; it's about the art of negotiation that so many African mothers seem to master. Sometimes, I even pity the sellers, because I wonder if they ever catch a break. But then again, when I see my mom snagging a deal, I can't help but feel proud.
I really think African mothers' bargaining skills deserve to be studied. There should be classes or workshops on how to negotiate like my mom! It’s like a skill that should be on display, and without a doubt, she has it down to a science. Who knew buying yam could leave me so fascinated?
