If Men got Pregnant


Knowing that one day I can never wake up and tell my wife that I’m pregnant, whether by surprise or by default, is actually not a bad thing. I don’t mean this the wrong way ladies, but knowing that I  can never endure that pain is actually a bonus for me as a man. That must be a very excruciating pain that a lady has to go through during delivery.
But what if the status quo changed today? What if God decided that now men can get pregnant? Wake up tomorrow morning and start having morning sickness. You decide to go and visit your personal doctor early in the morning before signing in the office. After some tests he hits you in the face with a shocking statement, “...(John, Joseph, Charles, Jimmie, Stephen, Kelvin, Brian...) you know what, you are expectant, you are pregnant”. Try imagining yourself that nine months to come, from now, you will deliver a baby. You will have a growing bump on your body for sometime. Your weight will increase by a fraction each day.
I have to agree at times it may look fun but sometime stressing and tiresome. I would make sure I get cravings of all the food I want. From what I love eating to what I have never tasted. In large amounts I would order them one by one. Pizza, nduma, gwaci, rice, beef, mutton, pork, ice-cream, lasagne to even Spanish and Italian cuisine. I’d make sure my food is from a specific place not any place you meet on the street. As the bump grows by day so do people recognise the changes in your body. Free rides would be my day to day favours. You don’t even have to ask for a lift, the driver would surely ask you if you wish for a free ride. Respect would have to follow me everyday just because of my baby bump.
With all these things following me I would wish if the days would move backwards or stay still. Knowing the pain I would endure in the maternity, with the nurses stressing me out with their rude attitude there is no way I would wish that day to come soon. Even if I know I would receive all kind of gifts from relatives and friends, after delivering, still I wouldn’t be in much hurry to go into that room. I have never been in the room before but still pain is pain.
Much respect to our mums for going through that pain just for us to have a life in this world, and to the ladies who will one day bring a human being on this earth. #HappyWomen’sDay

DISCLAIMER;  Today's background playlist is   "Kina ft Snow - Get you the Moon" Man I miss you like hell. The memories I have of us have been endless. Wish everything turned out as we had planned 40 years ago. Hope the heavens are as you wanted them to be. Life really fumbled to lose you. Today would be your 40th birthday. The ambience of our favourite picnic site still lingers in me. Eve has been doing okay with her grandma’. She has grown to call me uncle. She is a clear reflection of your appearance. She resembles everything about your character and physical attributes. Life has not been kind to me. Maybe I’m life’s example of a bad fruit that never ripens. My mom followed you years later. She struggled with cancer for the longest time. Her death may have crashed me but I am relieved she can finally end the suffering. Say hae to her for me. My dad was there for us after her demise. He did remarry three years later to a single mom of one daughter. We finally had a sist...

I Have a Crush on A Friend

Have you ever been so wildly attracted to someone you can actually feel it driving you insane? Have you ever been scared to open a text? Your heart races, your stomach feels empty? Personally I couldn’t hide this anymore. I know by now what you are thinking. That one person who causes your heart to skip a beat just by seeing her. Don’t worry, I feel you. I have a friend who causes me to smile, glow, joy, crave, go blank, feel, tense, make my heart skip a beat, not once, but twice. I’m going through that currently. I still get butterflies even though I’ve seen her for a hundred times. She is the kind of friend I’m scared to lose. She is the secret I can’t hide. I feel deprived of oxygen when I spend days without hearing from her. You should see her. You know that smile you get when that one person you’ve been wanting to talk to finally texts you? It surely happens to me everytime I hear that text tone on my phone and find out it’s her. She causes me to go from crazy to crazier. I...

  DISCLAIMER!! Before you start to read, i would request you to add "Lutah Fyah - Tangled Up" to your playlist & play it in the back ground as you read. Her; In the flesh… George was now taking snaps of Veronica pretending he was scrolling his phone. I have lived with this idiot for three years, I can tell when he is about to fart. This will be a long discussion in the house between me and George. She rendered me silent for a second and for that short moment it turned out to be awkward. I didn’t know what to say to her. I had so much in my mind that I wanted to know but I did not know what to ask. She gave that shy smile. That one smile where a lady knows she dressed to create attention, keep men heads turning and ladies jealous; that smile that rubs her ego for rendering you silent. I am 100% sure this sitting positions were all planned by Steve. I turned to her friend to ease the tension around the table. I respect the different variances of melanin popping but there is...
