....and then there was this day in primary school when we were required to make some handcraft things using wood,for the craft lesson the following day. i did other things after school and i did not curve the mwiko that i was supposed to make.
So after meals (super) at home,i took and hid the domestic mwiko that my mum was using to make ugali...went out in the dark got a sharp broken bottle and started to smoothen the mwiko so that it could look like freshly prepared/curved from a tree of the right age and type.
In school,during the display session of our handcrafts,our crafts teacher took my mwiko which he showed the rest of the class,and declared that it should serve as a role model. he did not return it to back to me,but instead went and hunged it in the staffroom for future reference and the damn teacher gave me an assignment of making for him one,just like the one i had made...
Auchooo!...there i was...my mother's kitchen had no mwiko,i did not have any mwiko either and the teacher wanted a mwiko....i could handle the last two easily,but the first one.........to be continued
