Today I had in interesting conversation with my 5 year old daughter . My whole extended family knows I'm the worst swimmer on southern of Sahara and north of river limpopo .
When my daughter was 1.5 years, I was having conversation with her mom about me signing up for swimming classes at this advanced age . She was for the idea after she heard multiple times how i kept drowning and rescued by people of all walks of lives , including in the 80s when I fell inside an abandoned old pit latrine.
Little did I know this little weasel was recording this conversation in her little brain to be used against me later in life ... yes a 1.5 year old who cannot construct a word.
So leo nakunywa fermented uji (busaa)yangu polepole after getting a handsome dividend check from stupid sacco that makes no sense to me from day one I invested there. " Daddy why don't you know how to swim?" My 5 year old asked innocently. I got irritated thinking its madam who told her that I can't swim but chose to hold my anger. "Nani alikuambia ?" I retorted back..." Daddy wakati nilikua baby I heard you telling mom that you want to know how to swim. Come to my school, I'll teach you how to."
Madam was standing there listening and we both got shocked. What else is stored in that little brain ?we started wondering. What other surprise will she unload to us in presence of visitors? Don't get me wrong she is one intelligent girl , did I say she is the reigning champion wa spelling bee! I celebrate my girls in this Women day. I hope they grow up to be a nice daddy's girls.
Happy women's day.
