Certain Nirvana

One day while in primary school, we went for a school trip in Nairobi. We spent a day in parliament and heard the rants and goings on… All the “know-it-alls” were popping out random facts and trivia like they knew everything …others looked bored out of their pants and got fidgety and had painful looks almost bursting in their seats…others oohed and ahhed…and I sat and listened…one of the things that struck us was when the then Education minister Oloo Aringo asked the house, “So, Honourable Member, how much is too much ?” The question caused a roar of laughter at the session…we didn’t get it…well, not at first...it took a while to get the brain engine revving up. Then like a wave of laughter and looks of sudden realisation we went like… “Oooohhh yaaa how much is too much…?hahahaha…” “Ehe how much is tooooo much eh?” ...and all the way back to Nakuru everyone asked each other…“So, how much is toooo much? Followed by hysterical laughter…the more you reaaaaallly...
