As I was maneuvering my way out of the building, I was thinking of the possible offenses that I have committed in the past. Meanwhile, I knew there is a song that has been proved to perform magic to Kenyans lately. It makes things work to a Kenyan favor in almost all the situations. So after thinking of each possible situation my mind would sing Yoyote yawezekana bila Moi
The third month of my stay in the US, I had my fifth-hand car. One day, I was running late for my class and at the last stopping sign next to the street where I had booked myself a free parking space, there was one car a head of mine. The lights had turned green and this vehicle in front of mine was taking decades to move. I decided to borrow a hint from the experienced Kenyan drivers. They would not hesitate to use pavement to cut short a slow moving vehicle. I did exactly that. After parking my car, this old woman came next to my window and asked me if I knew that I had short cut her at the stop sign. So had this woman reported me to the police and it just took several years to get to me? I hope not.

Many times I have filled numerous forms at different places asking for my race. In several cases, I have not known where I belong. Im I black American, Yellow American or which one?
Yoyote yawezekana bila Moi.
I have applied for many jobs and each of them had asked for my experiences. At McDonald, I said that I have been a cook at the NFFS (Nairobi Fast Food Services) for seven years while attending my high school. Have they found out long after I quitted the job?
At the Jittery Lawn Mowers, I mentioned that I used to take care of the yard for the Minister of Extracurricular Activities in Kenya. I showed the pictures that I had fabricated. So have they done the background check?

Have I fathered a kid(s) somewhere and not known?

Could it be that the pre-loved vehicle that Im driving was stolen from its first lover before I bought it?

Have I been trapped as one of the Internet sex offenders when I accidentally perused through some highly rated XXX sites?

Has the "how are you" greeting sounded "I want kill you" to someone and reported me to the police after the September 11?
"Yoyote yawezekana bila Moi"
Has INS finally discovered that some years back I earned some money without their permission, or has the IRS finally caught up with me?

As I was busy thinking while passing through the corridors, I brushed my shoulder with this approaching pregnant woman who apparently was not looking forward as she was walking. She fell down.
