“DO YOU TRUST US”?

It was a long night of discussions (well, more like debates). My parents were having tough issues with us- especially the fact that my sister now uses “attachments”. Mum had caught her while she was away from home using it. Well! Wearing trousers too were major issues. It was a night of back and forths. We were now grown kids […]

WHEN I MENTIONED MY POSTING

When I got my posting letter, I did not go straight to the Local Government where I had been deployed. I spent the weekend in a familiar place having the best of fun.
