Sayings from my baby shower

Things heard only at a Baby Shower in Africa:
"Oh! It has English on it!"
"It's wrapped in a small black plastic bag, but what else is there?"
"We should invite one of our African friends so they can see our ngentes."
"That's cute, and not just african cute."
"Regular kids might not be able to play this game, but since you're MKs, we'll see. . ."
"Will it get cool enough for the baby to wear long sleeves?"
"I didn't know Samba made diaper bags!"
"We have refreshments with cold punch!"
