WHAT DO YOU REMEBER WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP IN THE VILLAGE?

[MATECHGO]

And guess what happened to me one time? I had invited a friend for lunch only to realise the lunch was gone. One funny thing was that you cannot differentiate githeri and kimbo tins or whatever used. So we only watched as bastards were eating my own lunch without complaining. we call that suuffering without bitterness.

tht story za kimbo just had me taken aback to those days i used to be in kindergaten and had those tins that had like two compartments (excluding the lid)for tea & loaf (the upper compartment) but by the time its breaktime the bread has sunk into the tea and we had no option but take it the way it was or rather we saw nothing wrong afterall kipurpurto was the norm.
that was when one was lucky enough to be visited so they get to be brought for boflo,sanik. for the sorry times mogoriet alternating with mortet from the previous dinner's kimnyet was the way to go. this is truly what memories are made of.

wawawawa very anyone feel me on this?? turonik. for those who grew up in the village, this is no new vocabulary for you. arawet ab sisit was the month for harvesting maize, at least i could say for the village where i grew up. this was one of the most anticipated times by most of us(the young esp) reason being when after the harvest, the tractor made rounds collecting maize to be transported to the choge (maize store). This meant hiking rides (which were rare) if one was tactfully enough. And as if that wasn't enough, this was a month that marked end of being broke. We could go to the maize fields after harvest and tur for the cobs that missed to be collected from the shamba go dry them and sell them. One had to be all ears to get to know where the next harvest would happen so as not to miss a chance of getting to tur hence extra coins.
morik, chaik en imbar, turonik, chago ..... jst make me wonna go down down down memory lane.

when a m reminded of how back(in the real sense of the word) in those days -we could get to the rogonget/kapnyongon river to shower (since there was no available showering water at home), then wait to dry up-towels were still a luxury we couldn't afford or so i thought, then afterwards use the same bathing soap to oil ourselves. how so those days. anyone in the house identify with ths
??? the myth that there were certain water animals tht was believed it gets to bite your boobs they would grow and being very young- how we wanted so badly for our boobs to grow so one could practically take it and let it bite. how so naughty.....gd old days
