Of sperm thieves and proud baby daddies

By Silas Nyanchwani

You know the world is ending when you hear a woman introduce a man as her baby-daddy. And the man stands there unflinching, like the Nyayo monument. The two 30-something women, well fed, had run into each other in the supermarket where I overheard this. The man, also in his 30s, looked perfectly sensible, even though he sported a stud in one ear. I have never overheard something whackier.
