Kandume yandi takalaala bwangu. Ndabuka bwangu pantu ndi mukali!
Mdogo wangu anachelewa kuamka. Mimi naamka mapema kwa sababu mimi ni mkubwa!
Nine njingisha akasuba mu ng’anda.
Mimi ndiye ninayeruhusu jua kuingia ndani.
Bamaayo batiila “Uli lutanda lwakumacaca yandi.”
“Wewe ni nyota wangu wa asubuhi,” anasema mama.
Ndaisamba, nshifwaya wakungafwilisha.
Naoga mwenyewe, sihitaji msaada.
Shakwata bwafya na menshi yatalala nangu sopo wa nunka uwa bulu.
Naweza kustahimili maji ya baridi na sabuni ya bluu inayonukia.
Bamaayo balanjibukisha, “Wilaba ameeno.” Naine nayasuka, “Teti, teine.”
Mama ananikumbusha, “Usisahau kupiga mswaki.” Namjibu, “Kamwe, sio mimi!”
Panuma yakusamba, ndaposha bamaama na bamaayo senge, na ukubashalikapo bwino.
Baada ya kuoga, nawasalimu babu na shangazi, na kuwatakia siku njema.
Elyo naifwika naati, “Ndi mukalamba nomba maayo.”
Najivisha nguo mwenyewe. “Mimi ni mkubwa sasa mama,” ninamwambia.
Ndamanka amabatani na ukukaka intambo shapa nsapato.
Ninaweza kufunga vishikizo na kurekebisha viatu vyangu.
Nshipusa ukweba kandume yandi pa ficitaka ku sukulu.
Na ninahakikisha mdogo wangu anapata taarifa zote za shule.
Mu sukulu ndabombesha munshila shonse.
Darasani najitahidi sana katika kila kitu.
Ncita ifi fisuma fyonse cila bushiku. Nomba icikulu ico natemwisha, kwangala na ukwangala.
Ninafanya hivi vitu vyote vizuri kila siku. Ila kitu ninachokipenda sana ni kucheza na kucheza.
