BEST BELIEVE I replied with "Mata Sinhala Dannae"
I'm so embarrassed now that I'm thinking about it and I actually know what it means.

She laughed and asked, "Do you remember me?" I told her I did and it was nice to see her after so long (knew her when I was 7 or something). My mom stepped in after and they were talking about me in Sinhala.
Not done with this thread, let me break my fast, pray etc etc and then come back.
