When I was young I thought speaking in mother tongue was backward, I was born and raised in town my parents spoke dholuo and that's how I came to know it but they always spoke to me in swahili so I never felt the pressure to learn how to speak it , I think even the schooling system in Kenya promotes the same which should be worked on if we want to preserve our heritage

Fast forward I have found a girl who I'd want to marry she is luo and raised in the rural area she speaks good swahili and English the problem is her mum doesn't I have heard how she speaks with her mum as they make fun of the few swahili words she knows .

Now she recently told her mum about me and it got me wondering how will I talk to her with my dholuo which sounds strange I know every word but the moment it leaves my mouth it sounds nothing like dholuo omg I'm so cooked

Anyway wacha niskize princr Indah nione kama itasaidia

I work as a receptionist at a hotel( I sell rooms) at night when the traffic is low I just sleep at a room just adjacent to the reception the room has wide windows so I can comfortably monitor the reception from there so today at around 12am is when I started sleeping , 30 minutes into the sleep someone comes in asks to check the available rooms unknown to me that they were two so I take the guy to check rooms and he says the rooms are good but he is coming back I just knew he wasn't kumbe his colleague didn't come out he hid in one of the corridors in the hotel

I go back to sleep this guy enters the room, the room I sleep in has no lock so I ussually put a chair so if someone tries to open it I'd here the chair drag for some reasons this guy entered the room without me hearing a sound must have been the sleep , my phone was on charge

I use a Tecno phone and it has a theft alert feature where when disconnected from charger it sounds an alarm that does not go off till password is keyed in, so as he removes it from the charger it sounds the alarm meeeeehn adrenaline kicked in like hell😂😂😂 I immediately shout "mwizi mwizi" as I dash towards the guy

Today was a lucky day for me because the ever sleepy watchman at our gate was alert he pretended not to be concerned but when the guy reached the gate he jumped on him and caught him and I wasn't far behind within a second I had caught up with him ni mangumi tu iko iko iko iko 😂😂😂 gave him a gentle massage till he spat "oyaaa jomba ndio hii simu yako"

We had to let him go juu sasa hakunanga mob ya watu wawili but mamae dayuuum ningeamka mteja fakeeeeeet whoever came up with the theft alert feature id genius meeeehn

Nimeshindwa hata kulala wacha nifanye kenye imenileta kazini
