Caught red-handed
The lid of the pot sounded as it fell on the floor
As the eldest child, I was the automatically unopposed kitchen prefect so I was very quick to notice any intruder alert
With the swiftness of James Bond, I raced to the kitchen to catch my younger brother red handed munching a large protein he had fished out from the pot of our Sunday stew
Our parents were yet to return from church while my siblings and I were having a field day outside waiting excitedly, my younger brother snuck into the house thinking he could smoothly move in and out the kitchen after his operation
He forget I worked with the FBI for 4 years until I clocked 10.
Well, praise be the Lord because for my silence, he agreed to do all the chores I assigned to him for a week😉
Day 1 He did my share of the dishes
Day 2 Laundry
Day 3 Mopping and filling all the containers at home with water
By the evening of day 4 he walked up to my parents and confessed his crime
I lost my leverage
He regained his freedom
That's exactly how the mistakes of our past keep us down when we let it rule us
Break free from that bond of the yesterdays
Learn from the mistakes and
Walk into your bright future as the champion you are.
