High Five!

I have to tell a story about Janice.  We were at the grocery store on Saturday night (Frankies) getting a few last minute items for her to make Norwegian Waffles the next day for our Senior Missionary "Break the Fast" meal.  At the checkout counter a middle-aged lady clerk asked Janice "Oa mai oe?" (How are you?) Janice smiled and said "Manuia fa'afetai!" (Blessed thank you!).  Then Janice asked her "Ae a oe?" (And you?) to which she replied "Manuia fa'afetai!" By then, she was done checking our groceries.  She said "Fa'afetai lava." (Thanks a lot) "Manuia le po" (Bless the night or have a good night) to which Janice replied "Manuia fo'i le po" (You have a good night also).  The clerk smiled and held up her hand and gave Janice a high-five!  She left the store smiling knowing she had successfully passed the test!
