TOASTING GONE WRONG


 Woke up this morning to hubby's voice as he serenaded me

His every word was smooth and silky as it rained down endlessly on me

From my head to toe, it was pure magic in letters

His baritone voice spiced it all up

And looking at my tall glass of chocolate awesomeness as he beautifully sang off-key those words of love sent a shiver to my body and butterflies to my belly

A girl could get used to waking up this way every morning

How did I get so lucky?


As I listened to his passionate rendition my mind went back memory lane to when I had just graduated High school

I had begun budding into this beautiful young lady and as is the norm I had countless admirers make advances left right and centre but one stood out

Derrick was a cool guy living in my neighborhood

He had tried on several occasions to gain my attention all to no avail as I personally detested standing on the street to talk to guys besides in our days any young lady seen that way with a guy was tagged loose. That further cemented my decision never to be found talking on the street

Loverboy therefore resorted to sending me a love letter and part of it read

   "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold thou art fair; 

  thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: 

  thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

  Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing;

   whereof every one bears twins, and none is barren..."


The further I read, the angrier I became

And so I stormed his family house banging on his door and proceeded to give him the warning of his life

How dare he? I thought

After looking at me from head to toe he compared my hair to a goat's and my teeth to sheep's? that was definitely unforgivable

Oh I rained down the heavens on him

My little teenage mind didn't know he was only admiring me and as a pastor's kid, he decided to consult the Bible for help.


Many years later I'm lying here grinning from ear to ear listening to hubby bamboozle me with words.

Thank God for maturity oh.

People love bad news People love to hear bad news about others And yes, people love to spread bad news about others! Nigerian Actress Angela Okorie has been online ranting, from one person to the other. This person is bad, The other person is a killer Today it's Mercy Johnson and her mother who are witches and turn people into goat. Someone you claim to have been close to? Everybody around you is bad and you're the only good one? Sometimes people try to trash talk another because they either feel intimidated, are envious, or feel they're in some form of competition. It's only a handful of times that you get the truth. You talk trash about people and say it's boldness and you're calling them out with your full chest?

Bingo on the lose

Image
My people, I was taking my daughter to school when I heard sounds of feet behind me and a man making a call signal. I turned to see what was going on, only to find a correct dog right behind me. Hmmmmmm my mouth opened on its own accord, next thing I knew, doors were flying open because the way my screaming pierced the air, ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The man started apologizing profusely, saying the dog just took off the minute he opened his door. And everyone went into their rooms as per, normal occurrence. Since I set foot in the Dublin, I think dogs are dragging numbers with humans. Everywhere you turn, someone has a dog and you need to see how protective they are about it. They smile and tell you 'Don't worry, he/she is friendly and loves to play' Then they pause with their dog and wait for you to rub the dog. It's considered impolite and somewhat rude when you don't. I opened the lift today to find one gigantic dog and the owner staring it me. Semi human and sh...
