THEM DAYS

TWO BRAINS ARE BETTER THAN ONE

That was how we managed to escape the dog role. Sandra was older than us but we made a deal with her she never broke. We became the chief's twins who were loved so much by the Chief lol. He never new what happened. It was then that we were elected as the first two chiefs. Sandra and Zack advanced into the next play of "blada" which was for the girls and "mofara and bano" for the boys. As for Sam and I, we improved our play. We launched rabbits and chicken in addition to the dog role. There was no complain coz unlike the Zack era there was real food. We used to pretend that we were drinking juice from the plastic bottle tops and eating leaves from cans. But in our era Sam would bring lots of Chapatti and a jug full of diluted quencher? “wacha tu!” The sad thing about transiting to the next play though, was that one became more prone to being beaten for cheeky behaviour and getting into fights. We lived in a plot that was so quiet at night unlike nowadays coz not everyone had television. Zack was a huge victim of punishment. At night you'd here Zack's mom ”ulithanieko nitasahau kuwa ulitopoa unka!!??? pole sitarutieko!!! It was then after two minutes you'd here screams all-over the plot. Machirani saitieni!! And her mother would respond "Waite kama walikuzaa!!". Zack always made our night. The funny thing though, was that no one would dare make fun of it come the next day. Mind you even his age mates. You could only laugh from inside?. The term reduce gangster points would apply rightfully to him in our current generation.
