I knew Alema - my wife - was a bad woman the day she caught me with my sugar mummy & she beat the living daylights out of the poor lady. Then we had to eat & feed our kids leaves for two months because the sugar mummy fired me. Be careful the women you marry yoh!...
Then she left for her father's. Leaving me & the kids behind. They called me to explain myself. I went there with Jimmy - My very wise friend. Jimmy said: "if you love something, you let it go. If it comes back to you, it is yours". We all clapped.
That night, I came back with Alema. She was still fuming, but I was fuming more. What kind of mother deprives her children of beef and good life? I had a mind to send her back to her people. But you know me, a tolerant husband. She does not deserve me.
Anyway, the next evening, I came home to boiling chicken in the pot. It was good chicken. I won't lie. I called my friends Baba Amos & Baba Otieno to share in the meal. Alema had seen her mistake & was making up for it. We licked our fingers! It was good chicken.
The next morning, I was licking the last of yesternight's soup off the plate before heading to work when the door banged. It was Mama Amos and 2 police officers. Apparently, her chicken had disappeared overnight. ALEMA! ALEMA! This woman will kill me!
Mine was an honest mistake. I thought she had brought the chicken with her from her father's. Alema denies culpability. Says it was her hen. The problem is my wife and I have never kept chicken. When all is lost, she says, "it was not even tasty"...Marry good women yoh!
Baba Amos - Mama Amos' husband - comes over. Alema points to him, says, "he ate it too. Licked his fingers too". Now Mama Amos & the police officers are crying. A whole husband eating his wife's stolen chicken. I say, "Baba Amos you didn't do well. Who does that to his wife?"
The case is settled out of court. The community baraza determines that I should indemnify Mama Amos. And to make it all fair, I should be welcomed the next time they prepare chicken that I may partake as well since Baba Amos had gone & insulted his wife. Marry good husbands yoh!
