NKIROTE YOU GO KILL ME OOOOOH (Kindly say that with a Nigerian accent)...
The year is barely half-way and Nkirote has had too much of outings in the name of "holidays for women" Asiiii naku weeee, Keke murume, Ichieni Yawa, Lahaula utaniua Nkirote
1st January was the New Year Holiday and as a man in love I took the pleasure of taking my Nkirote to Meru National park so that we can make Eco-friendly, love supporting the greenbelt movement, if at all you know what i mean. February 14th is the day of love, of cause dinner and flowers were a must for the "laugh" of my life. As the year progressed, there was an international day for women or women's day. I celebrated Nkirote as the Woman who makes my life glitter and shine on. Luckily enough, her birthday was somewhere in March and thanks to Facebook i remembered it and did something for her. On the flip side, I have celebrated more weird holidays than the realistic ones since then
Problem began when she started fixing her own holidays, it all started with our anniversary. Don't jump into conclusion yet, it was not an anniversary based on our relationship, but to celebrate the day we moved to our new house, a bed sitter in Umoja from a single Mabati house in Kayole. Frankly speaking, I have no idea the exact month we shifted leave alone the date. Easter was not a family holiday for us, but Nkirote's Passover. She claimed to share a name with Mary Magdalene as she is called Mary Nkirote, as usual it became a holiday for the two of us.The third "ambiguous holiday" was fool's day. As all of you were busy fooling each other, i was cornered in Uhuru Park doing face painting and Boat riding with Nkirote, she insisted that it was an internationally recognized holiday. As if that was not enough, May 1st, which was just the other day, made to our calendar of events. I know it is officially known as Labor day as it is a day set aside by the government to celebrate Kenyan Civil servants and recognize their efforts in building the country. On the contrary, Nkirote took the literal meaning and as usual, it was a holiday for us. Labor day is supposed to celebrate all women who will undergo through labor pain bearing you a child. What a lame explanation, but my friends never joke with a Baite Murume, stay calm and take the lead. With no other option, I had to take out..
Just some few days after celebrating Labor pain day, Nkirote is reminding me of Mother's day, actually week. She insists that this week she should be taken out at least two days or the entire weekend. More interestingly, she is not yet a mother. Am even surprised, is our relationship based on holidays? I think Nkirote is blowing things out of proportion...
BUT one important thing to note is that it is an International Mother's Week where we reflecting on what our mothers have done unto our lives. To any mother out there, Happy Mother's day.
