You know, I’ve always been convinced that I am one of the lucky people who don’t have meddling parents. But that was until today when my father called me to tell me that he has given my number to the son of his friend. Apparently, he and his friend (whom I don’t know by the way!) had discussed and decided that I should meet with the man’s son who is in millitary, and also here in the States. By the way, I don’t even know what state this guy I’m supposed to meet lives in. And what can’t the guy even find a woman for himself? Well, maybe he’s just as innocent as I am; maybe his father just told him “Look, take this number; it belongs to the daughter of my friend, and her father and I have decided that you should call her. She lives in the States too.”
Ain’t that something?!
Uju’s mother always calls her from Nigeria to talk about marriage and the sort, and the poor girl is tired of hearing it already. My mother has never spoken to me about marriage, though I’m a year older than Uju. I mean, my mom makes comments such as “is that what you’ll do when you get married?” or “we’ll see what your husband thinks about it”, but she has never tried to hook me up before! I cannot believe my father is hooking me up; I cannot believe it!! Has it come to this now? Have I become such an old maid that I have 2 be hooked up by my father? This is just 2 funny 2 me. I still consider myself a baby o! I still want daddy’s affection. I wanna rub my daddy’s big tummy and I wanna eat the last meat in his soup, dammit!
Ok, whoosah…. now that I have let out my frustration, shey you understand where I’m comin from? You understand why I feel the way I do, right? I mean, do you not also want the last meat in your daddy’s soup? Don’t u want his stockfish? His dry fish (okporoko)? I know I do! And hooking me up with some guy who I don’t know or care to know is getting in the way of me and that meat.
I wonder if he (the guy I’m supposed to meet) is feelin the way that I am. I wonder if he’s thinking “what the hell?” like I am too. Hopefully, he is anyway. Anyway, we’ll see how this turns out. Of course, you know I will update you.
See Ya…..!
