Riding in combis with babies


So here we were in town trying to figure out how to get to gogo's house. I could hear the panic in Kombo's voice as I said quite calmly “me and roro are catching a combi to gogo's house.” lol

it would have been dandy was I not holding two heavy bags as well as a baby but here I was with 1 bag with tomatoes and peppers and another full of roro's stuff.

YES I WAS THAT PERSON WITH TOO MUCH STUFF IN THE COMBI

Eventually we get in the combi and the guy I was sitting next to was listening to music on his phone. uyo roro uya trying to pull at this guys earphones. As if that wasn't bad enough, there was a guy with like 6 mbiras behind me and she kept try to pull these items because the bottle tops on the outside made what must seem to her like fun sounds.  All I could think was but roro why are you doing the exact thing I shame other peoples’ children for doing.  Then to make matters worse she was making SOOOOOO MUCH NOISE

All the while I’m hitting the person next to me with my bags every time someone needs to get out (hides face) but at the same time that’s what they get for not letting me sit second from the window J

I was so happy when we got to mom's road.

lesson learnt be more understanding of people with children or luggage or both.  Respect to mothers with no cars who get around EVERYWHERE by combi with their bambinos.  You are my unsung heroes.
