Mothers Day

Yesterday was Mothers day, everybody  is very busy in facebeook wishing their mothers happy mothers day but how many actually called their mothers to wish them the mothers day that they so glamourously put out on social media i bet not even half did that it goes to show how much our infatuation with social media and peer pressure runs. Back to me.

 Now you see my mum has been one of those mums who buys the latest smartphones just to receive calls and send mpesa and kusoma messages. so she got curious of this thing that all her kids seem to be hooked up on, you see when we are in the house everyone only talks about facebook, even my dad is hooked up on this facebook thing and at times uploads embarrasing selfies of himself in the shamba with a jembe or in a duka somewhere drinking soda ya fanta. So my mum asked my 2 sisters " ata mimi nataka muniingize facebook " loosely translated to i also want you guys to help me join facebook. my sisters dreading the thought of their mum joining facebook and sending them friend request and being that they were broke decided to play a trick on her hoping it will bore fruits.

 " Mama facebook watu hawaingii bure, lazima ulipe membership fee ya 1000/= kshs " 

Hehehehe you can imagine her shock, then she slows down to think. Lakini nyinyi mlitoa wapi hii 1000 mnataka. Siwaamini. She goes ahead to call my younger sister who just laughs at the idea and hangs up. As we speak today she is still looking for that 1000 bob to join facebook.

Happy mothers day
