10 May Dear Diary, Today the new teacher wrote every name on the board. Then she asked: “Kofi, which day were you born?” I did not know. Papa never said. She smiled. “Your name says it. Kofi is a boy born on Friday.” Then she went round the class: Kwame — Saturday Ama — Saturday, a girl Yaa — Thursday, a girl Kwabena — Tuesday Akosua — Sunday, a girl Nobody had to ask at home. In Twi the name is the day. At break Adjoa told me that Kofi Annan was born on a Friday too. Tonight I will ask Papa. I think I know already.
