5.21

Two people enter the room. They were holding hands; it was very cute. She was wearing a romper like a little girl would, and he followed her like a little boy. They were old enough to know better.
"Look at this helmet! It's got a little monkey on it."
It didn't. It was from Mali. Helmet mask with human figure, the placard proclaimed.
She walked from the room, leading him. They spent eighteen dollars on this.

Fifteen masks, ten figurines, seven bowls, five throwing weapons, a spear, and a chieftain's staff.
Thirty seconds and an insult. Either I art badly, or they do.
