One Kilogram of Cheese Puffs

African women can carry things on their heads and walk long distances, a fact I have always found to be amazing. They balance anything from shopping bags to buckets to oddly-shaped packages. Sometimes what they carry on their heads looks bone-crushingly heavy, yet they show no apparent strain. They walk with dignity, grace and skill.

I, on the other hand, cannot even balance an obscenely large quantity of cheese puffs on my head. Sigh....
