In the previous post I mentioned a huuuuge surprise/gift was arriving at 6.45 am. I can now reveal that this secret was in fact the arrival of my thirteen year old sister, Mimu. At about 4 am lost my battle to stay up all night waiting for Harry so when Mimu called me at 8 am I could barely string a sentence together. It was still a great pleasure to hear her voice without the delays and disconnections that long distance calls are prone to.
Living miles a way from London means that I will not get to see her until Wednesday night but I am so thrilled she is here. My cousins, who were clueless, woke up to a wonderful surprise and I know they are having a fantastic time.
Mimu, who spells her names Mimo (why?), has apparently been reading my blog but today was the first time she left a comment. I usually do not single out comments but I have decided to give one of her comments a special mention.
In April this year I did a birthday post for Mimu incorporating songs from the year she was born (1992). Today she left a comment in my Birthday Countdown post which contained hits from the year 1978 (the year I was born). Apparently I am meant to guess the odd one out. What I want to know is how on earth she found all these songs. Anyway here is the message:
Wangui, My sister you keep me (STAYIN’) ALIVE. When ever I am apart from you I GO CRAZY. You will always TAKE A CHANCE ON ME even when I am at my worst. I can never explain HOW MUCH I FEEL for you. You are one HOT CHILD IN THE CITY. So MOVE YOUR BOOGIE BODY girl you are 27!!!!
I will love you forever big sis mwah!
P.S. All the words in big letters are songs from the year 1978 can you guess the odd one out.
The only ones I can identify are Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees, and ABBA’s Take a Chance on Me, though I don’t know if either of them was a hit in 1978.
Any one got any ideas?
the gods/godesses must be smiling on you-am sure you are ecstatic chillin for ur lil sis and am really happy for you.
hot child in the city, 27 are all 78. but for the rest u have to ask her…

A (very) wild guess: I go crazy?
That Drama Queen, I tell you! The stories I had heard from the airport to 82 are enough to fill two books at least 🙂
Am sooo happy for you, now that your small sis is around. As for the songs am CLUELESS. Hahhaa its in caps but it ain’t a song lols
Encourage the child to start her own blog – I am sure it will be an education for all of us. Enjoy Wednesday. I am wondering who will talk faster she or your
