LITTLE SURPRISES.

The weekend was good and I went to visit a long time friend who I share a certain passion with and I took the the matatu there. There was this four year old and her mom abound the matatu she was drinking lucozade from a tetra pack and the mom was drinking a soda.

After the packet was empty, the mom offered her the soda and what surprised me is that she shook her head signifying that she was not interested in the soda and in a short while she was fast asleep in her mother’s arms. Pardon me for thinking that children have a sweet tooth.

I had a saloon appointment on Sunday and I found a small girl in the drier and after she was done and left, I found out that my hair dresser had to hurry me along since she was going to the girl’s house to help her dress up for an occasion that was taking place that evening at 7pm. I was insulted since I had made the appointment earlier on but on inquiring if it was a birthday party, I was shocked speechless on learning that the 14 year old girl was getting married on the material day and I wondered if her small body and young age would be able to handle the responsibilities of marriage.

There were stickers all over town in the morning when I got to town and I was in so much hurry to stop and read what was posted until I saw an older gentleman in his late sixties climbing up and peeling them off. What would have prompted him to wake up so early and dangle dangerously to get rid of them?

How was your weekend?
