My brothers and sisters wey dey 4 internet…see as them wan turn me into Ekaite o! (no offense 2 whoeva actually bears that name). I cooked, I cleaned, I washed, I swept, I moped, I did it all. I yelled @ the kids, I slept on a recliner last nite (my neck is still stiff), I screamed, I shouted, my head ached… it all happened. See as this small children wan carry my head do sme-sme oh! The lil 5 yr old boy from Naija musta thought I was the house girl. That’s the only reason he was talking 2 me like I was his mate. He betta recognize. I guess some1 mighta told him later cause he started calling me aunty after a while…. now, that’s more like it. Though it doesn’t change the fact that they were driving me insane!!!
So yes oh, I slept on the recliner last night with 9 other people in the house: my mom, my aunt, another aunt, 3 little boys, my auncle, his wife, and my grandma….in this America o! I’m pretty sure that was illegal. Abi how u take see am?
Anyways, my aunt tried 2 convince me to spend the nite there again and I refused oh. Ah ah… abi na melecine? Abeg, I miss my bed. It’s an old, nameless mattrass, but I have always found it to be the best. Besides, I’ll take anything over sleeping in that house again. They r all my blood relatives oh, but abeg, too much relatives is not good 4 my blood. The thing just dey scratch my body.
This is something I would have 2 discuss with my husband (when I get married, of course). I don’t think I can tolarate too many relatives oh… haba! And my relatives (and husband’s relatives) betta not think of comin 2 my house and telling me how 2 handle my own marriage… e no go work o. We would also talk about littering the house because I cannot take much of that either. It absolutely irritates me when some1 just litters the house… mba o… it won’t work @ all sef. I guess that’s why it’s good to live with your partner b4 marriage, but mehn, as much as I wanna know wat type of man he is, I still don’t wanna live with any man b4 marriage. I’m not gonna say I neva will, but I know I would rather not do so. Anyways, let a man propose first b4 I start wondering if I should live with him or not. In fact, let him even invite me 2 live wit him sef b4 I start planning how 2 decline his offer. Don’t mind me and my fantasies jare…
I’m home now sha. I wanna go look @ some traditional outfits my mother’s friend sent, so I can pick one of my choice. You know say man must not live by bread (english outfits) alone.
Good nite o
We go yarn tomorrow.
