Mama Oby: Obianuju....Obianuju...bia,
Where is this girl?
Ooobiaaaanuju ooo
Uju: Ma, am here....
Mama: Uju, What are you doing at the back yard, (pulling her ears) you don't hear word, how many times have I warned you about laughing and
cracking jokes with Emeka
Uju : (Staring immensely)...but mama how...
Mama: Oya follow me, (dragging her into the room) ...Now listen to me and
listen good...you see all this hahaaha you are doing with all these boys outside let it stop from today.
I have told you and I will repeat it again for the last time, if any of those boys with their laughing jackass touches you now that you have started seeing blood you will get pregnant if you are not careful. If any of them sits near you or hug you or even shake you, that is pregnancy and trust your father, you know what he can do.
(She continues)
I dont see all those boys with good eye especially that Emeka...he looks too big and mature if that one jide gi (holds you) ke gi efugo (in ibo dialect) (your own don finish) so run and run far away from him or any other boy. Wave at them from a distance...helloooo.
Obainuju: Thinking aloud, I better stop talking to this guys oo, before I get pregnant.
The next day, Uju returns from school, while sitting at the balcony,..
Emeka: Hey Uju wasup
Obianuju : Hello (with a frown on her face)
Emeka : I have brought the music book that has the Celine Dion lyrics you requested for.
Obinuju: I dont want. (taking her eyes away)
Emeka: Shoo, Na quarrel.
Uju has taken the matter very serious, but did her mum mean that she shouldn't collect books from the boys let alone speak to them??? By doing this, does she mean her well (In Omawunmi's voice)
