@sheri,yes! we used to do those mabutis on saturdays and you get your kabook marked as havin worked otherwise your family would not be allowed to bring in coffee next picking day.

we used to have deidated days for killing rats (mbiya). They used to be in the granary(ikumbi)_ during the material day.,.......everthing used to come to a standstill. numerous shouts of,..............iyo,.......iyo,...iyo.......would make you think that guys are crazy!. hehe!

........there used to be no match boxes,so if you missed to preserve fire by burying one firewood in the hot ashes before going to sleep,then you had to go to the neighbour in the morning to borrow some


.......then when you smell harufu ya chapati from your neighbour's home,you sneek there and ask for some fire; na kumbe you already have some at your home (n maybe they can see smoke from ur kitchen)..they will then give half or one chapo n some fire.



.......halafu in primo a group of boys would challenge unsuspecting boy that he can't unpluck a small stick off a heap of wet cow dung using his teeth..then the boy would courageously try to unpluck and he gets his face pushed into the wet sh*t

.......
and the english teacher reading some of the compositions in front of the whole class...some were like 'I waiteeeed,until I threw hands'....'and I saw the car cut a corner at high speed'!!

@bidiiyangu
truth be told,i and some other 3 boys were tricked into applying 'kariaria'(whats is its name in english?) on our dicks by a kihii who had returned home after being a chokora for like a month. he had told us it was the easiest way 'kurua'(get circumcised). we did it on our way from the river...very well,kila mtu agathinuria,halafu anapaka. ngai fafa,we were unable to cover less than a 100m after that and our parents had to come for us..kila mtu mamake...serious battle b4 they acknowledged we cudn't walk. dettol and gee vee @ home and then hospital haraka.
gud thing,we were healed in a week which seemed like a decade...n the memories are very fresh

be happy!
