Episode 10
‘’ Well, I’ll figure that out,’’ I assured.
‘’Please do. Good night’’.
We both walked to our separate flats. Mum was listening to a program on Radio Lagos as I stepped into the parlour. One thing I’ve never and I think I will never do is listen to the radio while there is power.
Me: hello mum
Mum: Audu must have been glad seeing you
these past few days
Me: Of course mum.
I chuckled.
Audu was the name of Mie Tea guy.
Mum: Lazy boy
Me: Mom, you….
She cuts in
Mum: Son, if you are to going to tell me a lazy person cannot work at the steel company nor play football, save it. I have heard it all before. Your food is in the kitchen.
Me: But it’s true mum.
Mum: Kitchen!
Me: Okay.
I went to the kitchen to dish and back to the parlour
Mum: I spoke with Mrs Williams this evening.
And we’ll be meeting next weekend.
Me: Oh! Great.
Mum: You can unmute the T.V now. I’m off to my room.
Me: Good night mom.
Mum: Sweet dreams.
She left for her room and took the radio with her.
