Trinbagonians talk. (105) I Don’t like to Read Instruction Manuals

 When we hav’ a problem wit anyt’ing an’ we ask Paul to help us, de first t’ing he does like to ask we is, “Did yuh read de wo’k manual?” Me an’ Sarah doh ever read it. Sarah had a problem wit one of she game system, so she ask Paul to help she.   “Did yuh read de wo’k manual?”    “Who does read dat Paul?” She ask he.      “Me an’ dad does read it to find out, how de t’ings we does use does wo’k.” He say.      “Ok so check out mines an’ tell me wah to do,” She say. “Oh gosh. Meh mudder an’ meh sister,” he say, as he pick up de wo’k manual.       “Wah!? How did ah get in dat?” Ah ask he.        “Yuh an’ Sarah doh ever read de manual, so de both ah all yuh doh kno’ how notin’ does wo’k,” He say.          “Who does read de manual, Paul?” Ah ask he an’ ah smile.   He smiled an’ he start to read de manual.

When we have a problem with anything and we ask Paul to help us the first question he loves to ask, “Did you read the instruction manual?” Sarah and I never reads it. Sarah had a problem with one of her game system, so she asked Paul to help her.       “Did you read the instruction manual?” He asked her.    “Who does read that Paul?” she asked him.     “Dad and I read it so that we know how the things we use, works.” “Ok, so check out my manual and tell me what to do,” she said.         Oh God, “My mother and my sister,” He said as he took up the instruction manual.        “What!? How did I get in that?” I asked.         “You and Sarah never read the manual so you do not know how anything works,” He said. “Who reads the manual, Paul?” I asked smiling. He smiled and started reading the manual.
