Respect pre-school,ECDE teachers.When you meet them buy them soda madiaba and congratulate them.
I was a teacher before I joined campoo 😅 That was part of hustle.
At the Kaschool where I worked, there is a little girl named Vicky. She was so cute and sweet. And she was such a storyteller byzewei. She used to bring me mandazi mbili every morning, her mother was a mandazi seller.
Then was there was a day, just before knocking off, I found her busy trying to put on her shoes.
I approached her and offered to help her. It was such a torrid time.
The boots seamed to be smaller than her size. It took me five minutes to help
her wear them. When we were done, after making a steps away from her, she called me said "Teacher, umenivalisha banana"
When I looked at her shoes, to my embarrassment, I realized that I had
misplaced her shoes; the banana style.
Ya right to the left, left to the right.
On trying to take off the shoes again, it took me three minutes. After struggling so much I eventually managed to remove them and tried putting them
on again, this time the correct way.
However, it was more difficult than the first time.
When I finished, she said: "Teacher, hizi sio viatu zanguu !"
I really got angry,kusirikaaa actually, but since I had worked with little kids, I had to be patient and control my anger. I struggled to remove the shoes.
I then asked Vicky where her own shoes were and this is what she said:
" Mama alisema nivae viatu za sista yangu, zangu ziko nyumbani "
This time I boiled in anger. But since I always did my job perfectly and whole heartedly, of course wanting to be paid by end month,I helped her to put on the shoes again. When we were done, Vicky pulled another shocker, yet again.
" Tichaaa na haujanvalishaaaa socks ?" she asked.
I wondered whether I should laugh or cry.
Politely and swiftly I asked her, " Socks zako ziko wapi Vicky?"
She innocently replied: " Ziko ndani ya kiatu ,kwaaaaaa vidole "
I simply resigned!
The next monday Mzae
