There is a common practice for the local women to carry things on their heads. We're not sure why, if just to keep the hands free or if they feel naked without it, but it's quite common. This, along with the trend for very young girls to wear Western modern clothes, switching to the traditional dress in their teens, led Winston and I to wonder if there are arguments between mothers and daughters about carrying things on their head much like equivalent disputes Americans might have about wearing sufficient clothing. "You're going out like that?! At least put something on your head. Here, take this sweater!"
Maybe she was going to be out all night and need the sweater.
Is she telling secrets to the headgear?
