Chilling with the big girls

Mum: Chioma! Come and take this list. Hurry to the market and get those items very fast. I want to be done with the cooking before your father returns.

Me: Ok Ma.

I hurriedly showered, then snuck into Aunty Winny's room. She was a true  beauty Queen, tall, black, eloquent, soft spoken and always looked flawlessly fabulous. I was awestruck by the person of 'Aunty Winny'. She had come visiting so I decided to help myself to some of her make-up. Slapped on some different foundations, in between i applied several lotions i saw slapped some loose powder on my face and sealed it all with a glossy red lips.

In a matter of minutes i was dressed and on my way. I was getting stares from all corners. Some smiled at me and feeling on top of the world, i cheerfully waived back and even went out of my way to greet people. You know, one never always gets the chance to look this pretty that often so, i chose to maximize the opportunity. I followed the longest route round the market and on my way home.

There i was standing face to face with Mum when she let out an incredulous laughter, Aunty Winny joined in, my other cousins around as well.

Well, they finally let me see the mirror after laughing to their heart's content, i couldn't help but wonder 'who is this staring back at me?

Hmmmmmm it was a painful experience Lol😂😂😂and for the rest of the week, i grounded myself.
