Just a quick reverse in time to show you some of my best performances. I was five, the youngest of two kids and daddy’s favorite (may his soul rest in peace).
My dad and a benefactor of his were having a discussion in the living room and I was on daddy’s lap trying to sleep, but this man kept yawning and he yawned loudly. I tried to mind my business because mummy had warned me never to talk when an adult was talking. But you see, the yawns were too loud for five year old me to ignore so I asked him
“uncle Alfred are you hungry? If you are why not just say it and stop yawning yaaam here, you’re disturbing my sleep”.
I Remember I spent a good part of that night on my knees, after receiving a few strokes from my mom’s turning stick.
Another story, the last one I promise
I was seven, innocent me who was just trying to test my acting skills. My neighbor’s daughter and I were playing out an imaginary movie so I thought I needed better costume and I went in to take two onion bulbs and tied them on my chest, then I wore another gown on top of it. That wasn’t all, I took the cover of a Bic pen and inserted it into my index finger as an artificial nail, then I tied a long scarf on my head as wig. Then I went outside and my friend started acting just as we had agreed. I wanted to spice things up a bit so I pointed my finger which had the artificial ‘nail’ at her and said
“don’t you ever speak to me in that manner you this low life”
Guess what? Her mother heard it.
You see, my costume alone had put me in big trouble. Did I mention I had my mother’s lipstick on?…so imagine for yourself.
I Got the beating of my life plus I was banned from seeing movies. Anyway, that’s by the way.
Back to the main story….
