I’ve had a fever all day and as I lay in bed wondering how long it would take water to boil on my skin, I remembered an incident that happened when I was a kid.
We had a hospital in our compound there were always constant visits there. Whenever I had a fever, I noticed the nurse will put something under my armpit and it made me tickle because of how cold it was. One day, I saw my mum use one of those on my younger brother at home. So I decided whenever she goes out, I’d take it and put it under my armpit. I noted where she hid it in her wardrobe.
On this blessed day, I went there and picked it. It was inside a kind of thick brown tube. I didn’t know how it worked so I just jerked a part of it off and kpakam! That’s how the thermometer fell and broke. For a moment, I went to heaven and back. I knew I was as good as dead. So, I went on my knees and looked at the damage. I saw tiny silver balls that I tried putting back into the tube but yinmu. I then took the broken pieces, put it back in the case and went to hide it where no one will ever find it.
When my mum started looking for it, I pretended like I was shocked at the disappearance and even joined her in looking for it. Let’s just say the mystery of the missing thermometer was never solved.
Do you think I should go and confess my sins now that she cannot beat me again? ๐๐๐
Who else has been in these kind of situation and what crime did you commit, let’s know ourselves. ๐๐๐
I remember something I read online of a mom who helped hr child find the missing food (that she ate.) Haha
๐๐๐ children are so mischievous, yeah.
Give me your Mum’s number, I wanna tell her something…
Noooooooo! ๐๐๐๐
Hmm. We sometimes couldn’t forgive ourselves for our past. But we have moved on.. lol
