I want a ride home |
I was now two weeks old in the school and the matron could no longer wash my clothes. Not because i learnt how to do my laundry but because I had two std.8 girls fighting for me. He he i just wanted to say that...cause it feels nice. Right?
Ndunge got me from my first morning in the school as she argued out and now Esther, argued herself out that she's from the coast. I couldn't choose. They were all nice. I was just there like a little princess. Did i forget to say shaven? Yes shaven. Bald. Everyone was. You should see my ears when bald. Satellite.
thanks to Ndunge I had a nice stay |
Okay. I always had clean clothes. My suitcase well arranged. Never bullied. Was i a pet? I don't know.
But one thing i never got used to in this school is the FOOD and my home sick got stronger each day.
"Mimi sili sima ya kuungua. Sinywi uji. Sili pojo. Sili hiki, sili kile..."
It was my daily song. It's funny how i turned down greengrams as it was actually my favourite back home.
They called greengrams NDENGU. Learn reader. Learn.

The matron noted my faded appetite. My soap dish protruded like they were really soap dishes. I mean my color bones.
To the deputy headmaster and he entitled me to special diet.

Interesting.
So, whenever people were having porridge, which was twice in the morning hours btw, i was enjoying my TEA. (Hot water mixed with sugar and drinking chocolate)
The only thing I'd enjoy eating with the rest was the githeri i dispised on my interview day, muthokoi (my favourite), rice - cooked on Saturdays, meat a big piece each and you got lucky if you got a boned one.
Plus there was something when cooked looked like rice mara ugali...they called it NZENGA. This, I hated with passion.
don't feed me that please |
so true
