Like it or not, Mama Fua is your co-wife

There's this woman who has a man's secrets that even his own woman doesn't know. Mama Fua. We have joked around and made memes about 'toa nguo nakuja', a phrase that has also been picked by some laundry companies to literally or technically 'woo' people into considering them for laundry services. But the real 'toa nguo nakuja' is your average mama fua who does rounds in estates getting dirty laundry done, for the lazy (sic), and busy Kenyans who have no or little time for doing laundry.
So there's this busy brother Benjamin who is too busy to even wash his own young clothes. Bro works from Monday to Friday and often eats out. KFC or popcorn and juice, if he has to have something from his house. He has a girlfriend who checks in once in a while, mostly on weekends but strictly to Netflix and chill, booze, and sextivities. Babe doesn't step in the kitchen and when she does, she would actually be getting herself a Gin glass and some ice cubes. Does she even shower? Maybe, maybe not. She's too woke to even brush her teeth.
So brother Benjamin's crib is always in a crazy mess after a busy weekend.
Then there's this woman. She's not babe. She's his laundry lady. Mama fua. This blessed woman knows every corner of Benjamin's house. She knows the colours of his three boxers, knows that the green one is torn and the dude has worn it since 1967. The grey sock that has no partner, the blue jeans that have faded out because it's worn three times a week, she knows how his bedsheets smell and notices when he buys a new bed cover, new T-shirt, or belt.

She notices when the house had an extra occupant over the weekend and can smell this from hukoo gate. This is still the one who does the budget for the house. Because? She is aware the soap is finished, she is the one who empties the sugar tin and suguas sufurias, so she definitely is aware that steel wool and Sunlight bar soap need to be purchased. This woman discards empty tins and boxes in that house, and empties not only the dirty clothes' basket but also the garbage bin. When Benja eats burgers, she'll know. And when he chews cat and scatters used condoms on the bedroom floor, she's the one who picks them from under the bed.
