“Mum, mum!” she called the mother looking excited. “Nataka kuandika barua.”

“Barua? Unaandikia nani barua kamum?” Asked the mother.

“Akili Kids! TV wametuambia tunaweza andikia barua to yule character tunapenda kwa Akili Kids! TV alafu watasoma barua yetu kwa TV.” Keni replied cheerfully!

“Eeeeeh!” exclaimed the mother.

“Si utanisaidia?” She asked her mother.

“Ntakusaidia kamum.” She said. “Na unajua kuandika kweli ama unataka mimi nikuandikie?” Said Mama Boi teasing Keni.

She looked at her with a smiley face and the mother chuckled back.

“Sawa, enda basi ulete kitabu na kalamu. Alafu tuandike barua yako.”

She rushes to get a book and pen from a shelf and places it on the table.

Favourite character wako kwa Akili Kids! TV ni nani?

“Esme na Word Girl na Princess Pea” She says excitedly (Add links)

“She laughs… kwani hii barua itaenda kwa hao wote ama ni kwa mtu mmoja?” Asked the mother.

“Sawa basi tuandikie to Princess Pea” replied Keni.

“Sawa tumwambie aje?” Asked Mama Boi.

“Tumwambieee… Princess Pea, nampenda, alafu tena napenda dress yake na nitakuwa na dress kama yake Christmas ikifika. Si utaninunulia mum?” She asked. “Alafu mwambie, when I grow up nataka nikuwe princess ako na crown na wand kama yake.” Explained Keni. “Na pia nitakuwa na spelling powers kama yeye.”

“Hiyo ndio unataka kumwambia?” Asked Mama Boi.

“Alafu tena asalimie team yake ya super readers na kila mtu kutoka Akili Kids!” She concluded.

“Okay! Sawa.” said Mama Boi.

She helps them pack their lunch in their lunchboxes and put it in their bags.

“Haya! twendeni, twendeni Boi. Sitaki mchelewe kufika shule leo. Basi iko karibu kufika kwa gate!” Mama Boi called out.

“Chiiilaaax….tunaharakisha mum!” Boi giggles as he carries his school bag rushing out of the door.

They wait a few minutes out of their gate and their school bus arrives. They get in and off they go to school.

“Good morning class.” Greeted Mrs. Naisula, the class teacher in Boi’s class.

One thing you will notice about teacher Naisula is her long, black, silky hair and her colorful Mitumba pants! Her style is just….Whoa!

“Today we have a new student joining us in class.” Mrs Naisula said enthusiastically. “His name is Alex.”

“Let us all welcome him and be friendly with him.” She encouraged as the children clap.

Classes go on and the children go out for their short break time.

“Mambo Alex.” Greeted Boi.

“Poa sana.” Replied Alex.

“Najua leo ndio siku yako ya kwanza Roho Safi Primary School, na bado hauna marafiki. Sindio?” Asked Boi.

“Bado, sina marafiki. Wale watoto wengine walikuwa wananicheka juu nimevaa uniform ya shule yangu ya kitambo.” Alex nervously replied. “Lakini baba yangu ameenda kuninunulia uniform mpya leo na kesho ntakuwa na uniforms kama nyinyi!” Said Alex.

“Wachana na hao wasee! Wanabore! Sisi twende tucheze futa!” Boi gleefully replied with his arms streched out towards Alex.

They go forward and play together. The bell rings and they go back to class for a Maths class.

“Lunch tiiiiiime!” Shouted the children as they run out of class to go have their lunch.

“Alex, kwani huendi kukula lunch?” Boi was concerned.

“Sikupatiwa lunch leo, maybe kesho ntakumbusha mama yangu aniwekee lunch.” Alex Sobbed.

“Usijali. Lunch yangu ni mingi unaweza kushare na mimi leo.” Affirmed Boi.

“Leo nakula mchele na maharagwe. Wewe hupenda R n B?”

“Alex, kwani unaenda wapi na Boi?” Mrs Naisula interrupted.

“Boi amesema naweza kukula lunch na yeye leo.” Replied Alex.

“Ukweli teacher!” Boi Babbled.

Boi and Alex head out to have lunch together and get back to class after lunchtime.

“Sssssshhhh! Special announcement. Kesho tutakuwa na holiday. Kwa hivyo hatutakuja shule.” Said Mrs Naisula.

“Yaaaaaay” shouted the children happily.

“Holiday ya kesho itakuwa Mashujaa Day. Nani anajua tunacelebreate nini on Mashujaa Day?” Asked the teacher.

“Teacher, teacher, teacher! Shouted the children in unison while raising their hands.

“Yes, Alex, please tell us.” Said the teacher.

“Tunacelebrate wale watu walisaidia Kenya kupata independence.” Replied Alex.

“Correct!” Mrs Naisula nodded. “We will be celebrating our heroes. Our heroes can be anyone who has helped you in time of your need.”

“Kama Boi!” Shouted Alex. “Leo sikuwa na lunch na yeye alishare na mimi lunch yake na pia nilicheza na yeye futa time ya breaktime.”

“That is good Boi and keep it up!” Mrs. Naisula applauded.

“So as you go home today, remember to celebrate your parents, your househelp and anyone who has helped you in life tomorrow.” said the teacher.

Parents, remember to celebrate your children when they do good! It boosts their self-esteem! 

HAPPY MASHUJAA DAY TO YOU ALL!

“Aaaaargh! Kwani hii password ni gani? si nakumbuka vile niliweka last time,” said Baba Boi. “Kwa nini saizi inanisumbua.” 

“Baba Boi, ata wewe huwa unapoteza password yako kila saa,” said Mama Boi. “Na hata hujakaa na hii simu kwa mda mrefu.” She said.

“Si ati napoteza password,” said Baba Boi. “Kila time naweka password kwa account yangu ya Facebook iko sawa, lakini next time nikijaribu kuiweka tena, ni kama imebadilika.”

“Uko sure hakuna mtu mwingine anajua hiyo password yako?” asked Mama Boi.

“Ama kuna mtu anaweza kuwa amehack Facebook account yangu?” said Baba Boi. “Unajua juzi nimekuwa kwa cyber cafe.  Walikuwa wananisaidia kubadilisha password. Sijui kama walilog out kwa account yangu.”

“Basi, itabidi tumebadilisha password yako saizi,” she said. “Ndio sasa next time ukuwe unaikumbuka na kuijua vizuri.”

Baba Boi hands over his phone to Mama Boi. She is helping him out with the password issue.

“Mimi sijui vitu mingi sana kuhusu hizi mambo za social media, lakini najua password yako hufai kuwa unasahau tu hivo,” Said Mama Boi. “Nimejifunza kidogo kidogo kwa ile show akina Boi wanawatch ya Flash Squad.”

“Ooooh, naikumbuka,” he said. “Inaendelea aje?” He asked.

“Iko poa so far.” She replied. “Unajua last time, ilikuwa inahusu kupoteza password, kama tu wewe.”She teased.

She hands over the phone to him.

“Sasa weka password mpya hapa,” she instructs. “Na usiniambie.”

“Wacha niweke ile yenye natumia kila mahali.” He said.

“Apana, usifanye hivo!” She exclaimed.

“Ata kwa Flash Squad wanasema, ile password unatumia kwa account moja, hufai kutumia kila mahali,”  she said.“Tumia password different kwa kila account.”

“Kwa nini, na hiyo ndio nitakumbuka virahisi?” He asked.

“Unajua kama mtu amepata password yako ya account moja, anaweza kuaccess hizo account zingine,” said Mama Boi.“Ndio maana hufai kutumia the same password kila mahali.”

“Sawa, na nikisahau hii ingine?” Asked Baba Boi.

“Wewe andika kwanza, niko hapa kukusaidia,” said Mama Boi.

“Nimeandika,” said Baba Boi.

“Sasa, shika kalamu na karatasi, uandike hiyo password alafu utaiweka mahali haitapotea,” She said. “Na pia mahali mtu hawezi kuipata.”

“Wueh, na wewe ni mnoma!” Said Baba Boi.

“Nakuwanga mnoma kila siku,” she chuckled. “ Sasa hizo steps, ndio zinaitwa permanence, privacy na protection.”

“Basi ntabadilisha passwords zangu zote, na niziandike kwa notebook yangu ya secret passwords,”  he said.

“Knock, Knock, Knock,” someone is knocking on the door.

“Hodi.” It’s Mama Janet – elder sister to Baba Boi.

“Karibuni sana Mama Janet.” Welcomed Mama Boi.

“Asante sana Mama Boi,” Said Mama Janet. “Tunashukuru.” 

“Akina Boi na Sydo walikuwa wamefurahia sana kujua cousins zao wanakuja  kuwatembelea  hii weekend.” Said Mama Boi.

“Ata mimi nimefurahi sana kuwaona.”  Sighed Mama Janet as she sat down. “Mara ya mwisho kuonana ilikuwa before COVID-19 alafu tukakuwa na lockdown.” She said, “Na Keni amekuwa mkubwa, ameshafika 3 years?” She asked.

“Ako karibu kufika,” explained Mama Boi. “Keni ako na miaka mbili na miezi sita.” “Janet na Kevin pia wamekuwa wakubwa, mpaka sasa Janet ako na simu yake. Sasa amebakisha kupata tu kazi.” Teased Mama Boi.

“Ata kazi yake ni kupiga mapicha na kupost kwa social media kila siku.” Ridiculed her mum.

They all joined in the laughter

“Hio ni nzuri sana. Wacha nipanguze meza alafu niwaletee Chai.” Said Mama Boi as she was heading to the Kitchen area.

“Wacha nikuje nikusaidie Mama Boi.” Said Mama Janet as she followed her.

The children were by themselves in the living room. They were happy to see each other and had a small chat.

“Waaaah, Boi kwani mlinunua TV kubwa?” asked Kevin. He was so amused to see the enormous screen size mounted on the wall.

“Eeeeh, Dad alitununulia TV kubwa ndio tukuwe tunaona Akili Kids! TV vizuri.” Replied Boi.

“Aaaaaai, kwani hamkuwa mnawatch Akili Kids! TV kwa ile TV ingine?” inquired Kevin. “Si ilikuwa tu sawa?” 

“Sisi tulikuwa tunataka kuwatch Akili Kids! TV kwa screen kubwa kama vile watu huwa wanawatch kwa Cinemas.” Said Boi “Lakini, time ya Easter, Dad alipata offer poa sana ya .….” 

“Ni mimi niliconvince Dad anunue hii TV”. Interrupted Sydo.

“Apana si wewe!” shouted Boi.

“Ni mimi” replied Sydo.

“Sasa mtashinda mkibishana ni nani aliconvince baba yenu kununua TV?” jumped in Janet. “Ebu nipatie remote ya TV Sydo niweke reality show ile napenda.” She commanded.

“Lakini sisi tunataka kuwatch Akili Kids! TV.” Cried out Boi and Kevin.

“Basi wacha niweke tu kidogo, nipige picha ndio nitaonyesha friends wangu nilikuwa naiwatch.” 

The younger ones agreed but unwillingly.

She changed the channel and watched for a few minutes, probably less than 5 minutes. She took out her smartphone and took photos of the show on the TV.

Immediately, Janet posted the photos and a video clip of her watching her favourite reality show on Instagram. 

She captioned, ‘Tuned into my favourite reality show’ #realitytv#enjoyment#tuenderoad#fedhaestate#bigscreen

The children enjoyed continued watching the television and Kevin, Stevo together with Boi and his siblings watched the repeat of Flash Squad at 3:00PM. The show ended after 10 minutes.

“Waaaah! Waseeh! nimefanya mistake kubwa sana.” Said Janet feeling remorseful.

“Umefanya nini?” asked Boi.

“Nimepost photos na video nimerecord tu saizi online, na nimeweka details mingi sana kama jina ya estate yenu na barabara pia.” She said. “Alafu kuna mtu amecomment ati ‘tunakujia hiyo tv’ kwa comments.”

“Mtu anakujia TV yetu?“ asked Boi. “Kwani hujaskia vile wamesema kwa Flash Squad kuhusu kupost vitu online.”

“Si tumewatch tu saizi, kwani ningejua aje kile wangesema before show ianze?” rebutted Janet.

“Hufai kupost online kuhusu mahali uko, ju watu wabaya wanaweza kupata. Alafu ile time umepost haufai kukuwa hapo saizo.” Said Boi.

“Boi! Boi! alafu pia walisema kama kuna information private, mtu asipost online.” Added Sydo.

“Eeeh! pia hiyo.” Affirmed Boi.

Mama Boi and Mama Janet come back to the living room.  

“Ni nani huyo amefanya mistake kubwa sana?” Asked Mama Janet.

“Ni Janet Mum.” Snitched Kevin.

“Amefanya nini?” She asked Kevin.

“Amepost picha na videos online na aliweka details mingi sana.” He said. “Alafu after tumewatch Flash Squad akaona mtu hafai kufanya hivo.” 

“Janet! kwani hujui kuna vitu mtu hafai kupost online.” Said Mama Janet. “Hufai kupost location yako, mahali unaishi, namba yako ya simu, ID number, bank account details zako na hata saa zingine mambo ya kazi.” She warned her.

“Pole sana mum, sitarudia. Hii ndio mara ya mwisho.” She assured the mum.

“Na wewe ndio master wa kupost na hujui vitu mtu hafai kupost.” Teased the mum.

“Umeshadelete hizo picha na videos?” Asked Mama Janet.

“Bado.” Replied Janet.

“Nadelete to saizi, one minute tu.” Said Janet.

“Aya, nishadelete.  Poleni waseeh! Najua ningewaweka kwa situation mbaya. Nimelearn mistake yangu. Sitarudia tena.” She said.

“Daddy, si ulisema utatubeba kwa bike yako, leo?” asks Keni as she comes running to her Dad.

“Yes, kamum, najua niliwapromise, lakini nimeosha tu bike saizi, labda niwabebe kwa bike lakini hatuendi mahali, si ni sawa?”. 

“Sawa Dad,” She said in a joyous mood.

“Basi enda ukaite Boi na Sydo mkuje niwabebe, alafu nitawapiga picha kama mko kwa bike”

“Boi!, Boi! kuja dad anatuita, Sydo kuja” She runs to the house to call her elder siblings.

“Boi, nataka niwabebe kwa bike leo lakini hatuendi mahali, nitawapiga tu picha ni kama mnaendesha motor bike”.

He proceeds to put down the Bike stand, then lifts the children onto the bike. He takes out his smartphone and takes a Selfie facing the kids on the motorbike and two more selfies.

He immediately proceeds to posts the photos on Facebook and caption “Sunday ni kurelax na family” #family#chilling#goodtimes

It is Monday evening and Baba Boi is back home after a long working day. He appears bothered. Mama Boi welcomes him to the house.

“Mambo Baba Boi, siku yako imekuwa aje leo?” asks Mama Boi.

“Job imekuwa poa, lakini kuna watu wamekuja kuniharibia siku jioni vile nilikuwa naangalia Facebook yangu”.

“Kwani nini imefanyika?” asked Mama Boi.

“Sasa, jana after nimemaliza kuosha bike around lunch time, niliweka watoto kwa bike tukapiga mapicha, kujibamba tu!Alafu nikapost kwa Facebook”.

“Leo jioni, kuingia kwa Facebook, napata kuna watu wengine wameanza kuongea vibaya kunihusu na kuhusu zile picha nimepost.”

“Na ni kama, si real accounts kwa sababu zile majina wanatumia, ni za kuguess, na pia ni watu wenye si friends zangu”.

“Ati ni za kuguess?” asks Mama Boi while laughing.

“Kuna mmoja aliongea vibaya sana, wacha tu nikuonyeshe”

He takes out his phone to show Mama Boi the comments. The first comment which had tonnes of reactions read;

‘How can you leave your children alone on the motorbike, that is very dangerous. You need to be a careful father! -(Phyllo Queen Mtrue)’

‘Huyu anataka watoto wake pia wakuwe bodaboda riders in life, you need to give your children a better vision in life.(Johnte Mhumble )’

Other people had also negatively commented on these two posts.

“Niliwajibu vibaya ata mimi, sikuwaacha tu hivo” said Baba Boi.

“Alafu sasa, wakaanza matusi, mimi sikuwa na time ya kuwajibu tena, so nikawaacha tu hivo. Lakini nataka kudelete ata hii picha, ndio watu wengine wasikuje kucomment vitu mbaya”.

“Si ungewacha tu kubishana na wao. Kwanza, Boi, ile show ya Flash Squad yenye mliwatch, si walikuwa wanaongelea mambo ya online trolling?”.

“Eeeeeh!” shouted the kids in unison.

“Eh! ni show gani hiyo sijui?”, asked Baba Boi.

“Inaitwa Flash Squad Dad, iko kwa Akili Kids! TV” Keni told her father.

“Eeeh, waliona kwa Akili Kids! TV, last week on Friday” added Mama Boi.

“Kwani hiyo show ilikuwa inahusu nini?” inquired the dad.

“Daddy!, daddy! kuna msichana anaitwa Phiona, aliambiwa vitu mbaya kwa social media, na kumbe mwenye alimwambia alikuwa ni msichana mwingine tu wa shule yao anajifanya ni mtu mwingine” said Sydo in a joyful  mood as the others watched him explain to their father.

“Ni kama hao watu walikuwa wanacomment vitu mbaya mbaya, hata siwajui lakini waliamua tu kusema vitu mbaya”

“Anyway, sasa alifanya nini?” asked the dad.

“Dad!, kwa Flash Squad walisema step 1 ni Report” said Boi.

“Hiyo ndio nini sasa” exclaimed Baba Boi.

“Kureport, ni kutuma complaint ya hiyo account inasema vitu mbaya  kukuhusu kwa Facebook” explained Mama Boi.

“tuna click tu hizo comment zao alafu kuna option ya kureport, tunaclick hapo”.  Said Mama Boi as she was showing him how do it.

“Dad!, alafu step ingine yenye walisema kwa Flash Squad ni Block” said Sydo.

“Ata wewe unajua baba?” asked Baba Boi.

“Eeeh! najua. Ukiblock hao watu, hawatakuwa wanaona Facebook yako” said Sydo.

“Anamanisha posts zako za Facebook na kila kitu unapost hawataweza kuona” clarified Mama Boi.

“So, tutaclick hiyo jina zao alafu tuclick on Block user” she continued.

“Na last step ni gani?” she said in excitement while looking at the Kids.

“Clean” they all shouted in excitement.

“Kuclean ni, kumake sure umedelete hizo comments mbaya from your post,” emphasised Mama Boi.

“Ebu, delete hizo comments kwanza” she insisted.

“Sasa hiyo ndio REPORT, BLOCK AND CLEAN” said Mama Boi.

“Heh!  Si hiyo show ni noma sana, yaani mmejua hiyo yote kutoka kwa hiyo show?” he asked.

“Inakuja saa ngapi ndioi next time tuwatch pamoja?”

“Inaanza usiku by 7:30.” said Mama Boi

“Na usichelewe kukuja home this Friday,” she insisted

“Ni sawa, nitamake sure nimekuja mapema on Friday” assured Baba Boi

“Mummmm! Keni anakata kunipea remote!” Boi cried “Keni, ebu peana remote. Sisi tunataka kuwatch Peep and The Big Wide World.” Mama Boi commanded. This is a normal Sunday at Boi’s Home. One of the kids is always crying for the remote and Mama Boi intervenes.

“Peep and The Big Wide World ikiisha, si tufanye general cleaning. Kila mtu, atakua na a small task kufanya ndio tumalize kazi haraka, sindio?” Mama Boi requested.

“Okay, mum! Usijali tutasaidiana, ” Boi and the rest of the family agreed. True to their word, as soon as they were done watching Peep, they all started cleaning the house when they heard a voice on Akili Kids!

“Wewe Brayo! Leta hiyo sweater yako ama hutacheza na sisi!” Boi said in a gruff voice.

“Boi! Wacha hizo…si last time nilikupea lunch box yangu? Wacha tu nicheze na nyinyi woiye…” Brayo pleaded.

“Sisi ni ma-first body! Leta sweater yako kama unataka kucheza na sisi,” Boi insisted.

“Eeee! Peana hio sweater yako kama unataka kutujoin!” His friends incited.

“Saweni tu!” Brayo sobbed as he gave Boi his sweater and ran back to class.

“Nkt! Brayo anakuanga msofti! Ata ana bahati ni hometime. Ningeendelea kumchokoza! ” Boi said with a shrug of pride.

“Lakini wewe Boi pia hungechukua sweater yake. Atavaa nini akienda home?” One of his friends asked reproachfully.

“Nye nye nye nye nye! Pia wewe umekuwa msofti? Ah! Mimi naenda home. Tupatane kesho,” Boi swaggeringly wrapped his new sweater around his neck as he said goodbye to his friends.

( Later on…it was a quiet evening at Boi’s home. Baba Boi was reading a newspaper, Boi and his siblings were watching Bob The Builder on Akili Kids! TV and Mama Boi was folding clothes when she noticed something peculiar)

“Boi! Hii sweater ni ya nani?” 

“Eeeeh…Mum unasema?” Boi replied cluelessly.

Then it dawned on Mama Boi…

“Aiyaya! Boi, usiseme hii sweater ni ya Brayo! Eh?” 

“Mum sikuelewi,” Boi tried to downplay his mother’s revelation.

“Mwalimu wako amenipigia simu leo jioni kuniambia ulichukua lunch box na sweater ya Brayo by force. Nilidhani mwalimu maybe ameku-mistake na kijana mwingine lakini! Kumbe ni ukweli?” A disappointed Mama Boi replied. 

At this point, Boi was feeling quite nervous, his palms were sweaty and he kept fidgeting.

“Maa-aaa–m ni-ni-ni-nilikuwa nataka sweater yake juu-juu-juu…”

“Ju ni nini?” Mama Boi interrupted.

“Ju ni smart na najua ningekuambia unibuiye kama hio ungesema hauna doh.” Boi stammered. 

“Ata kama Boi. Hufai kuchukua vitu za watu! Na nikikuambia sina pesa, hufai kukasirika. Si sisi husave tukitaka kununua kitu?” Mama Boi asked.

“Ndiyo mum,” Boi replied with guilt.

“Isitoshe…jana tuliwatch na wewe My Better World. Unakumbuka Abi akihurumia ule kijana mwenye hakuwa na chakula? Alafu, akampeleka kwa hoteli akule?” Mama Boi asked.

“Yes, mum.”

“Mbona hukuhurumia Brayo venye ulichukuwa sweater yake? Unajua aliskia baridi akienda home?”

“Pole mum,” Boi bursted into tears.

“Haiya, fanya aje, kesho nataka urudishie Brayo sweater yake. Uta-apologize to Brayo, Mama Brayo na Teacher Jack, unaskia? Nastaki kusikia hii maneno ya bullying tena, Boi! Tuko pamoja?” Mama Boi said with a stern voice.

“Ndiyo mum,” Boi agreed as he wiped his tears.

“Boi, nataka uniskize kwa makini…ni vizuri kuwa na huruma na kuishi na amani na watu. Ungependa mtu akuchokoze ama achokoze akina Keni?”

“Apana mum,” Boi whimpered.

“Si poa kuchokoza mwenzako ata kidogo! Usirudie tena, tumeelewana?” 

“Sitarudia, mum. Promise!” Boi replied.

Since then, Boi has learnt the importance of empathy and now, Boi and Brayo are good friends!

Parents, what do you do when your child is a bully?

“Weweee…unapigia watu kelele!” his dad shouted as he poured tea into the thermos flask. “Ebu kwanza peleka chai kwa meza tukule breakfast. Akina Boi washamaliza kuvaa?”, Baba Boi asked as he passed the tray to Sydo.

“Mum ndio hajamaliza, anatafuta ile kitambaa yake ya kichwa ya color green ”, Sydo mentioned.

“Lakini Mama Boi pia yeye…si ange tafuta hio kitambaa jana usiku. Tutachelewa!”, Baba Boi thought.

“Activate Creature Power Suit!”, Sydo belted out the phrase that Chris and Martin Kratt use in Wild Kratts.  

“Ha! Hio ni nini?” Baba Boi asked.

“Hio suit ya akina Chris huwa inachange into any animal unataka alafu inakupea creature powers!” Sydo confidently replied as he arranged the cups and plates on the table.

“Ohh…Okay. Na nimenotice unapenda sana hii kipindi. Wewe unataka creature power gani?” his dad engaged him further.

“Ya Kuswim uko deep end kama Whale!” Sydo cheerfully replied.

“Okay! Wacha nitakutafutia hio creature power suit huko Gikomba!” Baba Boi joked.

“Na wewe, Keni? Ni nini umelearn kwa hio show ya Wild Kratts?” Baba Boi asked as he sat to have his breakfast.

“Every time I watch Wild Kratts with akina Boi, I learn about different animals and the countries they are found in.” Keni smiled smugly to her dad.

“Okeeeey! Kangaroo inapatikana which country?” Baba Boi poked.

“Australia!” Keni responded with gusto!

“Nice! Next time mukiwatch, muniite niwatch pia, sawa? Haiya!  Nyinyi watu…malizeni breakfast haraka tuende tukaone Lion na Mr. Girrafe! Ama mnataka twende kwa shosh instead?” Baba Boi sarcastically suggested.

“Twende!”, Mama Boi replied and sipped the last drop of tea in her cup. 

(A few hours later, akina Boi have finally arrived at the animal orphanage.)

“Mama Boi, si uweke kidole yako kwa hii nyumba ya lion tuone nini itafanyika?” Baba Boi teased.

“Aiiiii…wewe eka yako tuone!” Mama Boi shrugged off.

“Haiiiiiya, ndio zile baboons!”, Keni pointed out.

“Twendeni tukawasalimie!” Boi exclaimed.

“Tweendeee! Twendeee! ” Keni agreed. She was feeling exhilarated about the trip and seeing the animals she’s learned in school and on Wild Kratts!

“Sydo, Keni…” Mama Boi gently woke the kids up.

“Eee…mum,” Sydo sleepily responded.

“Please amkeni muende mkanunue breakfast haraka haraka nipike,” Mama Boi requested.

“Mummy, leo mimi nataka ile mkate ya train! Aki siutatengeneza Avocado Sandwich?” Keni insisted. 

“Sawa ka-mum. Nitawatengenezea,” Mama Boi replied.

“ Haiya bas, Sydo, nimekupa how much?” Mama Boi asked.

“200 bob mum, ninunue nini na nini?” Sydo replied.

“Nunua mkate ile refu ya 100/- , carrots za 30/-, airtime ya 20/- na mafuta ya kupima ya 30/-”. Change itabaki 20/-.” Mama Boi instructed them.

“Mummy tukeep change?” Sydo asked slyly. 

“Sawa! Na mkisahau kitu kwa duka itabidi mmerudi tena,” Mama Boi replied with a side-eye.

( A few minutes later the kids came back with groceries and they were quite excite

“Mummy, next month tuna school trip! Teacher alituambia tutapelekwa Lake Naivasha! Tunafaa kuwa tumelipa 700/- in the next two weeks!” Sydo reported.

“Two Weeks! Umekuwa ukisave?” Mama Boi asked.

“Mmmm…Si vile. But si utanilipia tu!” Sydo remarked with conviction.

“Na zile change na allowance mi hukupea, wewe hupeleka wapi?” Mama Boi asked.

“Mimi hukula crisps na ice nikitoka shule… unakumbuka ata ile siku nilikununulia wewe na akina Boi,” Sydo defended himself.

“Wewe Sydo, hmmm…uko na mchezo! Ni juzi tulikuwa tuna watch episode ya savings on Ubongo Kids kwa Akili Kids! TV. Ukweli ama uwongo?” Mama Boi asked.

“Ukweli…” Sydo replied.

“Akina Kibena walikuwa wanatuambia nini kuhusu savings?” Mama Boi asked as she prepped the avocado sandwiches that Keni was eagerly waiting for!

“Walisema ni vizuri ukipata pesa unasave kidogo kidogo. Ukipewa pesa ya lunch, fare ama change, usitumie yote. Unaweka kwa ka-mkebe ndio uweze kujinunulia kitu poa in the future!”, Boi replied with a bit of hesitation.

“Kumbe unajua! Haiya bas, uko na two weeks. Save 25 bob kwa ile 50 bob mimi hukupa. Hio siku ya trip ikifika, nitakuongezea balance. Tuko pamoja?” Mama Boi advised. 

“Yes, mummy. Nitafanya hivyo,” Sydo replied with a sense of relief. 

“Haiya, enda uamshe akina Dad na Boi wakule breakfast,” Mama Boi requested and Sydo took off!
