Have you ever walked for around 500 metres from your house then discovered that your fly is open? Wait a minute, you’re not even wearing a boxer! That was me on Heroes’ Day.
I had slept late that Tuesday night so by the time I was waking up on Wednesday, it was already noon. I had to send some cash via M-pesa so I slipped into a t-shirt and a short like I always do when I’m indoors. Open shoes ndio hizo, and I’m off.
The first person I met did not look at me funnily. Step, step, step… two women. They look at me funnily, look at my lower abdomen, then smile at each other. Then it hit me. Sijafunga zip. Damn! Na hata sina boxer. So my guess is that they saw the mtree.
Fuck it! Zipped, and proceeded like a true shujaa. It was embarrassing though.
