My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost two years now, I have met his whole family and they are all nice to me except his mother who doesn’t like me and does not hide the fact. I really like her son so she had me eating from her hands; she is very religious and so to impress her I started going to church. At some point she seemed to be starting to like me. Me and my boyfriend like sending naughty text messages to each other to help spice our love life. The other day I wrote him a really naughty text message but mistakenly sent it to his mother. By the time I realised what I had done, there was nothing I could do about it. The shame and embarrassment I felt cannot even be quantified. The next day we were having a family dinner and I was forced to tug along. When I arrived everyone was looking at me funny even my boyfriends father. I was so embarrassed. To make matters worse she chose that moment to talk about sexual purity and everyone probably knew it was directed at me because she kept giving me the evil eye as she shouted about repentance.

Maize and underwear

I got stripped to go in the shower and, just as I did, I heard the man who hawks maize in my estate shouting outside for people to come buy boiled maize. I really love boiled maize and the hawker only comes by once a day and the maize would always sell out. So without a second thought I pulled my jeans back on and ran out to the house. When standing in the queue I looked down only to realise my panty was hanging out the bottom of my trouser leg!

Not werrru-kamu

Me and my girlfriend had been dating for almost two years when we both decided it was time we got married. So as is required we made preparation for me to go talk with the parents. I had avoided meeting her parents up until that point. To help give me courage I carried all my five brothers and a few of my closest friends plus my parents and uncle. We made an entrance into their compound with fancy cars that we had hired or borrowed hoping to make a good impression, singing songs of joy. Instead of the warm welcome we expected, we were all chased away like thieves. It was so embarrassing because the whole neighborhood had come out to see what all the fuss was about not to mention the pitiful looks I got from friends and family.

Toilet blunder

Just the other day my college friends and I went for dinner at some fancy restaurant, one of my girlfriends had a rich boyfriend who was footing the bill. I started feeling a little pressed and asked for directions to the washroom from the waiter. When I got into the washroom and I was surprised to find men in the toilet. Since I did not want to look shady I assumed that it was a unisex washroom. I had a lot to drink that night so I went to the loo like three times. While I was leaving the toilet the third time I encountered a very mean looking man who gave me a look of disgust. He the proceeded to tell me how girls of today have no respect and that all I wanted to do was spy on men. Realising that he did not intend to keep quiet any time soon, I begun to walk away from him as fast as I could but the man would not have any of that and followed me to my table shouting all manner of insults, the worst of the insults: that I liked looking at men’s private parts. The look I got from the rest of the revelers and my friends made me wish the world would swallow me up at that moment. It slowly dawned on me that I had been using the wrong toilet.
