My nephew..Cadi
So we r working on a document at home, my sis and I, when our nephew comes along and hovers for some time . Finally he says u know tata (Swahili for Auntie ) I can type . Ok. I say. He continues maybe u can give me a job to type for you...I tell him that a job would imply payment ... Well u see, tata, by this time he is smiling broadly, he is a clever one this one. My sis says we can't let u type but what else can u do, he lights up and says spell checking ...I can spell check, without hesitating he pulls a chair and starts to read our work. Things go on fine. Then he sees a name in Kikuyu ..not his strong point, and corrects it wrongly ...everyone around the table laughs out loud, Cadi is put on suspension on grounds of incompetence. Later that night his grandpa listens to his plea to be reinstated as the spell check officer, after alot of convincing he was allowed back. He went to on to yet again correct a Kikuyu name wrongly, this time he was so convinced ...oh u shd have heard his argument . He was fired. At this point he decided to lawyer up...and who better than his mum...yes her.! The one person in our family who never loses an argument. She said that he had work for long hours without break, note he had been at it for 1hr half of which he had been suspended! Further she went on to claim that his spell checking assignment was limited to English text only! ...at that, everyone burst out laughing... and let him have it. bow down! I love our family.
