Seeing a Fellow African on the Street [Part 1]

Scenario 1: Was that your uncle ??

I.    So before/after school you are waiting at the bus stop with a non-African friend-obviously waiting for the bus-, talking about random stuff like the end of the world, what old folks food taste like, how long you could watch fan blades turn... you know what I mean don't you ?

Anyhow, you guys are just standing there disturbing no one but molecules you could be standing on, when a car containing Africans drives by. You as an African will automatically stop talking and will glance at the car, trying not to act too noticeable and the occupants of the car will stare you down until you there is nothing of you to be seen again. 

The second the car is no longer in sight, your non-African friend will ask you about these occupants, and one of the first questions will be: "Who was that ?" or " Did you know that person ?" or "Was that your uncle ?" At that time you will begin to wonder what significance this information  has to your non-African friend, but of course you will not dare to ask.

I can't believe I drew this myself!!  PICASSO WATCH YOUR BACK!! :'D

II.    [...]You as an African will automatically stop talking and will glance at the car, trying not to act too noticeable until you actually recognize the occupant as your uncle/aunt- because frankly everyone you, your siblings or your parents know is your uncle/aunt and you call them that without thinking twice- and become aware of the fact that you are obligated to greet this person.

Immediately you will smile, whether you are in the mood to or not, you will smile and will have to answer: "I'm fine, thank you", whether you are or not, you will be fine, because that  is what they want to hear when they ask you: "How are you my dear?" 
Next they will ask about your parents: "How is your father? And your mother?", and then you will wonder for a second, but just a second, DOES THIS PERSON REALLY KNOW MY MOM AND DAD?? But then you will answer, "They are also fine, thank you".

Lastly, you will be asked to: "Greet your parents for me ooh", and you will try to remember if they had mentioned their name through the whole conversation, or rather, interrogation, but give up in the end and say: "Okay I will". While driving off, the words "Stay in school ooh", will be called out and then you will think: "Really nice thing to say when going home after school".

The second the car is no longer in sight, your friend will ask you about these occupants, and one of the first questions will be: "Who was that ?" or " Did you know that person ?" or "Was that your uncle ?"
