Typical Conversation

Dominican man: Hello. How are you?
Me: Well, thank you. How are you?
Dominican man: I'm fine. (1 minute pause) Are you married?
Me: Yes. (For female volunteers is better just to say yes regardless...)
Dominican man: Oh... do you have children?
Me: No.
Dominican man: Oh... you should find yourself a Dominican to marry.
Me: Ah... (polite chuckle) thank you but I'm fine with one husband, I don't want another.
Dominican man: But why? You can have one here and he can have one there in New York. (In the DR they refer to the entire U.S. as New York. They will ask "what part of New York are you from?" and I say "California.")
