Ok this has
nothing to do with the Nyeri drama.
So this man
called his wife, overexcited. “Honey you won’t believe what I just got you.”
The wife
was overjoyed because it had been long since the husband bought her anything....but
she had to wait till he got back home because it was meant to be a surprise.
Feeling so proud of himself for all the effort he had put into the big surprise
drove back home with anticipation. Having been married for years and after the
Kids he had not spent so much time and resource on his wife. This would definitely
rekindle something.
He got home
and sure enough the wife was waiting... too anxious and excited at the same time.
And the anticipation grew even more as she saw the big parcel he carried; for
sure she could tell this was something he had put a lot of thought into.
“Honey this
is just to let you know that I do listen to you and know what you love” he said
as he handed over the parcel.Of course she tore through the wrap to get to the surprise.
She was finally able to unwrap and guess what CHICKEN NECKS....a whole two
kilograms of Chicken necks. Her smile suddenly collapsed into a dead fish look
and she turned her gaze to her husband who stood there sheepishly greening to
the thought of the thank you he was going to receive that night.....To his
surprise she run to the bedroom crying and banged the door behind her.....leaving him confused.
Am sure you
are also wondering what the heck is going on in this home.....Ok so here is the
Genesis of the story. You see just like many of us wives ,mothers or
just women...This lady had a habit of serving herself the neck every time
they cook chicken. She felt like she wanted her family to have the best and therefore
in the spirit of putting herself last and family first she would pick out the
less fleshy part that most people don’t like so that her husband and children could then serve their favorite parts. So for a long time the man wondered why
she did that and finally concluded that she must really love chicken necks. So
when he found a palace where he could get only chicken necks and at a throw
away price ...he bought as many as he
could..Just for her you see!
The man was simply responding to how his wife treated herself.This
goes to show that we do really show people how to treat us. If you don’t like
something honey ,then don’t take it, don’t serve it, don’t eat it. It is bad for
you...please don’t put yourself through something unbearable in the name of
humbling yourself or making everyone else happy.This actually applies in many areas of our lives...at work, relationships,
dealing with your clients and even relating to our selves. Sometimes we find
ourselves in awkward situations because we felt woishe woishe .....
or we wanted to be accepted or afraid that you will not get love in return...but listen if it’s not good for you it’s
not good for you.People never get the 'its only a one time thing theory'....If you show them that you can take it then they will pour it on you in their full measure. Here is where the big lesson on setting boundaries applies...yes you love them, yes you respect them
and yes you are willing to do anything to
support them but If it only demeans you
and allows others to take advantage then stand up and be counted.....! If it hurts ,then say it...if you feel reaped of take measures.You only
got you to take you through this life. Also don’t confuse those who love you, show
them how to truly value such a miracle like you...It will be good for them in
the end.
You must be wondering what happened to the couple.....Well,they had to go for counseling ,the wife could not just let this go...haha!
Luv Ish
