guys chokad our former prezzo when he brought broject Uhuru but I remember him boring me way before that. Back when he was parliament,president and the people combined he declared (probably road side) ati toy guns were henceforth illeagal. I remember ombaring for school to end I go hide mine but by the time I got home my mother,the good mwananchi,had chomad by blue toygun that shot discs ... this six yr old almost planned his own coup!

and there was another rumor ati Moi had an affaire with diana ross and was trying to cover it up,thats why after some time radio stations stopped playing 'up side down,Moi turn me,in side out,n round and round ..' He banned it!

How come I've not seen stories of people who tried electrocuting grasshoppers?

I only remember my brothers tried to catapult themselves, fly in the air as far as they could and land in the river. They vutad a tree that was in our compound, tied a rope that was supposed to be a trigger to a nearby stump and attached a seat that used to be a chair. Then they voted and my youngest bro was to go first as he was the smallest and lightest. After the countdown and the rope had be cut to release the catapult, my poor bro forgot to let go and he was smashed into the ground by the tree breaking his hand in 2 places! We were chapwad for 2 continuous days, me for watching!


Immorality: The morality of those who are having a better time!

Tried to use umbrellas as parachutes. Could climb the tallest tree and jump. Wengi tulikiona. Rememba my pal falling on his head and as a fast aid we stepped on his shoulders and pulled out his neck! No other treatment and it somehow worked. Mungu yuko esp. shags...


'A ship in harbour is safe; but that is not what ships are made for'.

before our school compound was grabbed by a church (kenya is special) me and my fav partner in crime would make mtegos. In standadi one I think the second period was PE every day so me and kariuki would go and spend the whole period separating the grass into two clumps and tying the top. we were diligent jamas,UNHCR would be called today,working in silence to do a whole pitch. then we wait for break time. In silence we'd watch guys playing foota,catch and kiss or wharrever trip and kula soil. we were very careful not to cheka,lest we be identified as the cause for this mayhem.

for those of u who schooled in shags...

during the last week of a term,there was no much learning. so,we used to bring jembes/pangas for digging and weeding the school shamba,much to our disgust...n the way it was big,plus the yield was for the teachers.

some cheeky boys...a good number- used to do it vibaya-'kuhunyirira'-as in u do it 'jumpy jumpy,leaving big patches untilled n spreading fine soil on top of weed...then after two weeks,thangari( some kind of grass-cant recall its name) is seen sprouting,ha ha

some boys used to roast maize and warus in the pit(mborera-garbagebin) as we burn garbage,and mind u they never had stomach problems...

others used to bask inside the urinal for like 5hrs and mind u it was being used by all ihiis-like 400 with some making it their latrines and they could spend days in their with no fuss.

be happy!
