“I love the drama in my home. It must be the writing spirit in me that loves it”

Last month my daughter was complaining that we only had two drinking glasses and I pointed out endless wine glass in the cupboard and in boxes,  so she should take one and drink her water in style, she sucked her teeth. This morning she is complaining that we don’t have a toaster. I put the platten —tawa on the stove, and I said, “The toaster is on the stove.” LORD the child shouted, “Mom, I cannot believe you! I am calling dad to ask him to buy one when he is coming home from work!” She did not know I already spoke to him about the platten so when she called he said, “But your mother told me she put the toaster oh the stove. Girl put your bread on it nah. It will toast real good.”
Dad! LORD I cannot understand my parents!” She shouted. Her brother started to laugh. I was hysterical and, “Life goes on. It is not the end of the world.”…
