Maize crop damage

Early morning after taking breakfast, I left for the work. The breakfast was not enough for the pumpkin taken was very small for my family’s satisfaction. I did not go home for lunch for I was typing my personal documents especially school modules.

Later in the afternoon at 4 pm my wife called me that some cattle damaged maize crops at my garden. It was worrisome because the failure of reliable rain has already made the crops not to boost as everybody was expecting. I referred the damage issue to the village headman who asked the cattle owner to witness the damage. The cattle owner, the village headman and I agreed that that damage should be compensated.

Washed the school bag
My school bag was dirty and I washed it as one of the school preparation measures. I also added tow pairs of trousers. Some women who were just crossing along my house compound were very impressed with the task I was doing. “Where is your wife? Do you manage to wash yourself as if you’re not married?” one of them asked while others were just laughing. Many people in my community believe that cooking, washing clothes and or caring baby are female tasks. It was something that I need to sensitize my fellow men that there is no any work that a human being can fail to do depending one’s sex.
