You're right, John. I read that wrong when Lois said:
A man can decide he wants to make a mobembo before embarking on a major change in his life - before getting married or as a means of marking the end of his childhood and the beginning of adulthood.
For some reason, I latched on to the "getting married" part and missed Lois saying:
"Yes," Lois said. "He had never made a mobembo before, but with impending fatherhood, he felt he wanted to go."
I was thinking that was pretty progressive of the tribe to allow premarital sex.
I should have known better. <<watches as anthropology minor goes up in flames>>
