I LIED. I ESCAPED

In my days in the Junior Secondary School, it was one of those routine days that the teacher walks in and request for your class notes for inspection. Those whose notes were not complete were always flogged. My notes were not complete. It was right in my bag but I had to lie to my teacher that I forgot it […]

I LAUGHED AT HER

My daughter stood at the door and attempted opening it. She could not because her hands barely reached the handle. She looked at me for help and I laughed at her. I teased her saying, “You are not even tall”. But guess what, I sat in the living room a week later and there was a miracle. My daughter walked […]

MY FRIEND’S DAUGHTER

I was visiting with a dear friend some times back and we got talking about how smart kids can be. She said she kept noticing that the drinks kept in the shelf up on the wall kept reducing.

WHEN THE WATER BREAKS

One of the things they kept telling us at ante-natal appointments close to the day of delivery was “Once the water breaks, start coming to the hospital”. But they did not mention that between the breaking of the water and the delivery of the baby were heightened heartbeats, random groans and pains, consolation words, some things that cannot be described.

ONE WAY FAVOUR WORKS

Right after the meeting that evening, he had a chat with her. He said, “I learnt you are getting married, I would not be needing a lot of things in my kitchen any more. You can have them”. The interesting part is that she would not have been in that meeting on a normal day if not for pastoral rebuke […]
