Bed Wetting Parents and Other Stories

By Will Anthony, Jr

A story is told of a child who confronted her bed wetting mother, after the young girl got fed up with her mother using her as an excuse while airing her (mother’s) wet beddings. The mother had made it a common practice to loudly complain to all and sundry about how fed up she was with her kid who always wet her bed. She always did this in a bid to avoid suspicion. She was always heard to complain, “This girl has tired me! She is always wetting the bed even when she has not taken tea at bed time,” she would say it loud enough as she aired her beddings, which had huge dark-brown-urine stains. However, her unlucky day came when she was complaining loudly and her daughter was standing by the door. Taking up the cue, the girl, the girl shouted back for all to hear, “Mummy I did not wet the bed. It is you who did it. You think I don’t know?” she said with an innocent face, of course to the mortification of her fidgeting mother who yelled at her to shut up. Meanwhile, neighbours were in glee, as they unsuccessfully tried to cup their mouths with their hands in embarrassment. It later emerged that the bed wetting culprit was actually the father of the girl.

Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More than anything, He salutes Smashwords Inc. for the platform.In retrospect, He recalls a Dr. Alfred Sam, a friend of his from North America who was also a dean of studies in a local university, exposing his white ass in the university's auditorium to catch attention. The noise ceased as students and lecturers turned to look at the grown-up man on the podium doing the abominable. Well, the good Dr. in anthropology then simply pulled up his trousers buckled the belt and said, "Thank You, now I have your attention..."For the sake of simplicity, without much display of academia, Will Anthony Jr. is a writer in the global village market . For this, he Salutes all his readers and all lovers of written work. In a word of caution, he says that men and women alike must bear. In reference, there is an Ibo saying that every market place has it's mad people who will attempt to mar the business of the seemingly sane people. On the other hand, the English say everyone is mad, it's only the degree madness that is at variance. Salutes most profoundly!

INTRODUCTION

The moment we hear about sails, we think of the dhows and boats of old time. But there would be no better term to explain a sea voyage that to say sailing! In our imaginative mind, sailing can be smooth or rough depending on the nature of the waters. This book is not about the waters of the seas, but the mental and spiritual waters of dry land and our lives. The stories that are narrated here are meant to give us a thought platform. Acquisition of knowledge has no end, intelligence and wisdom is the capability to prudently apply knowledge.

There is a saying that we can’t change the wind, we can only adjust our sails so that we can take great advantage of the natural force caused by the wind. This book is not about marine or naval life, it is about the lives of men and women on the earth
