Make her hair into a long braid she said!

What the fluff, here in Scotland braid means broad. What did she mean make her hair into a long broad.

A broad bean, they are long right enough.

But no, turns out she means make her hair in pleats of long hair.

You know like the Native Americans started.

Excuse me madam, they did not.

Oh yes they did.

Oh no they didn't!

Then say who did?

The Africans.

The Africans yes.

Fluff off.

It's true

Your long braid was invented by the Himba people in Namibia!

Ask Alexa if you don't believe me!

Alexa...what did the Himba people invent?

So I have been wondering how you keep tabs on so many Hiveans here on Hive and I am happy for a change I noticed something about you that was correct!

Well I am part of guild in dreemport and I have a good memory so keeping tabs is easy enough, you soon get to know Hivians that engage back, especially on our own posts like you do IB. It is human instinct to gravitate towards the ones that reciprocate, don't you think?
You are happy then so am I happy! Now what did you notice that was correct 😎

That's an interesting one, I didn't know braids originated from Namibia. Asking Alexa, isn't that an AI?

I came through dreemport

The Himba people? Honestly, there are so many African tribes that I haven't heard of before. Now I finally know where "braids" originated from.
