Maria,
I trust you in this. You will ceratinly find out, but then, you might find that it was much ado about nothing. Why bother?

hmm... that way,i'll be able to tell if "my special someone" cried or not. I bet there's a special cut for the cowards.
But I must find out. And I will. This evening.

Maria,
This is for your benefit, though it does not tell about Kikuyus.

mmhhhhh curiosity has gotten the better of me.....I will also do my homework...hehehehe

Maria,
There is an article about the Gikuyu irua ceremony by the famous Ralph Bunche written in 1941. Unfortunately the URL is restricted. it lacks details on the specifics, but summarizes the whoce ceremony for both males and females. If you would like to see it, I can send you the attachment
