Fuck soft parenting, man. In high school, I once sneaked out nikaenda kununua "kuber." Came to class nikaeka chini ya ulimi, alafu unajua ilikua inashika instantly, and I was a lightweight when it came to drugs. Zikashika bana, nkapatwa na depaa and was expelled. Kufika home, mum was aware cause she was told. Akaniambia, "Ngojea baba yako msemezane jioni." Alafu my father ni wale majamaa anakuekelea mangumi kama mwanaume, and I was a slim boy, weighing probably 44–47 kgs. That night, mzee aliniekelea mangumi, akanirusha kwa ukuta, and what I remember, he gave me one hot blow. Nkaskia mum amesema, "Hutaniulia mtoto!" Yeye naye akapigwa ile koffii ya kando ya mkono inaitagwa kumanyoko. Tukalala wote chini. Mzae akatoka akadisappear kama two days. Third day, alitumia mum pesa akasema nipelekwe shule, and from that day, mimi nikaokoka, never to disturb the school again. It made me who I am today.
