My Mother weds My Boyfriend
Yesterday, my mother told me she wanted to show me something. She directed me to go bring something from the store room. When I brought it and opened it, it was pots and a frying pan, just like these:
Then she asked me to get another carton from her bed side. It was plates in lovely colours, just like these:
Then she went to her room herself and came back with a beautiful lace material, it looked and felt expensive. This material is close to what that one looks like:
I asked what all these were for.
“Your wedding,” came the reply.
See ehn, I was ‘shook’!
Yes, I do have a boyfriend who is known by the whole family, but no, I never mentioned marriage to my mother.
But that is not even the problem. The problem is, whenever I think about marriage, I feel a strange kind of fear. I am not sure if I am afraid of the idea of marriage itself or the person I picture myself marrying.
Anyway, get ready people. The invitations will soon be out:

Hehehehe. You know why I’m laughing?
Very soon, as soon as you’re done with Nysc, you start getting the “bring a man home” prep talk. 😂😂😂😂

marriage scares me too. recently,i was deranged enough to tell my African mother I had no intentions of getting married.
There’s no need telling you about the fight and prayers that ensued right after.

The thing is tiring. Its almost like you are abnormal when you feel uncomfortable about marriage. It is just so tiring…
Thanks, Kay, for reading.

Today, I went too the beach front with my kids. I
found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year oold daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermikt crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants tto go back!
