Ejiné: One of my numerous crimes was inflating my Junior WAEC fee like a PDP senator. I remember I presented popsie a looooong list of things needed to register for the exam, with 65% of the items being things I 'kurukerely' filled in there.
Chineke nna, come and see format.

Dad: Son, number 14 says "handling charging". What exactly is that?

Me: It's the levy that takes care of the charges for the handling.

Dad: Handling of what?

Me: It handles the charges.

Dad: Charges based on what exactly?

Me: The overall handling, of course.

Dad: How?

Me: I mean the charges.

Dad: Of what?!

Me: The handling!!!
ur Dad must be a stack illitrate for u to have tricked him with that.

Taaaa! Who says he fell for it? We just went on and on and on and on until he got fed up and said "I'll look into it", and that was it o! As a Civil Engineer, he had little time for that long talk. What he'll do is include the whole thing in the house money when leaving, unlike my momsie who was a lecturer.
Now, had it been for her? Jehovah God!! She for siddon wella, disect EVERY single detail, and everly everly, my arse would be grassss! grin
Whenever it came to money, we always ran to pops cuz we knew we could inflate shiit without him having a second look grin

anytime a visitor give us money, all f us usually have a save-(kolo), which we normally put d money,i form dis habit of not completely putting d money in, so anytime i feel like buying junks i will just pull d money up and spend without anybody knowing and these money are usually used to buy extra thing 4 us during xmas period, so when it was a day b4 mum would demand d "kolo", i broke mine intentionally and pretended not knowing anything has happened,so d D-day, when we were all asked to bring our "kolo" i came back screaming dt d kolo had been broken by smbody else and d monies taken away, my mum beat all my siblings exept me with d notion dt they will confess. She didnt beat me because of dis adage "eni to nwa nkan nikan lara e mo"meaning its not possible 4 someone to steal his own thing, d4, i was exonerated, till today, dt was how d whole issue died.

To me what I did was not just a trick but a crime. As a secondary school boy consumed by the urge to drive before my time, I (alongside my cousin) attempted to drive one of our cars after popsy had gone out. We didn't pass the gate and the front (right hand side)of the car had been bashed already. Choiiiii. To make matters worse, it wasn't upto 2weeks before this time that the car was repainted after an initial accident. Hmmmmm.
Telling 'Papa' wasnt an option.....it was equal to suicide. Fixing the car was a better idea in our sight and believe it or not, we did. The way money appeared was miraculous. I just knw we coughed out the money...with offerings from our neighbor dat initially opened the gate n concerned friends in d hood. As God would have it, my parents went for evening church service giving us enough time to complete or mischief. More importantly, the fact that car paint was new was a blessing cos by the time we were through, the difference wasn't obvious. Incidentally, the panel-beater/painter we got was d same guy that had worked on the car 2 weeks earlier. Of course, we had him to thank for his maximum cooperation.
Till today, this deed is stil unknown....or so I think. My dad in blessed memory must have found out when he transcended to the realm where nothing is hidden.
God bless his Soul.

My mum was always in the habit of spanking us with bare hands anytime we did something wrong. This hand-spanking was always worse than using cane. She is a teacher and still teaches till date. One nice evening, I messed up and she "landed" me gbua! gbua! bgbua! I lay down straight on the floor screaming only once and turning my eyes inside out. My mum rushed to me, she was afraid, held me up, started shivering and thinking that I had fainted as a result of the beating. She tried everything to "revive" me, yet I pretended the more. I joined my teeth together and they tried to use spoon to ensure that my teeth don't get locked. Sprinkled so much water on me. In the process of the "reviving" I finished 3 tins of peak milk alone, One big bottle of Lucozade, and was about to move up to some eggs, but not for the too much water that she sprinkled on me. I couldn't bear that any longer as the water had soaked me so much. Finally "I came back to life". Till today she doesn't beat with bare hands not even her pupils in school and she still make reference to that incidence even to my wife and kids not knowing I faked the entire scenario. I have confessed to my wife anyway, so whenever she talks about it, myself and my wife will be laughing.

masterpiecer: i wish i got away with dis one but sadly enough, i was caught;

when i was a teen(17yrs), i brought home my girl friend after school, we had sex and i flushed the condom in the toilet but never checked to confirm it was properly flushed, o boy,
my mum came home pretty early, rushed to toilet to ease herself..., she was speechless.
It took me more than 2 weeks to get over the embarrassment

I came from a very disciplined home, we were made to work hard, especially me first son. My Father was a Teacher. As early as 12 years I was already the dry cleaner in the house. My mum will pack all those "starched" brocade and babariga or Abada (we stayed in the north) for me to iron. We had this funny and weird pressing iron that was my tool. To lift the thing, men na serious weight lifting exercise.
Long story cut short, One day I given a heap of cloth to iron, which will take me a minimum of 3hrs to iron, pouring water on them. I was nodding my head (in dissatisfaction and annoyance) on the dinning while ironing and my parents were in the parlor just watching TV, all of a sudden my head hit the edge of the dinning door, I screamed and fell. Before you could say "jack robinson" blood of Jesus was being shouted all over the place and I heard the one that sparked something in me. "The iron dey shock!!!, I don talk am before" I quickly queued into it, come see me dey shake for ground and my tongue already coming out, my eyes were all going in.. MILK, MILK, MILK filled the Air!!! Oh Boy, I finish about 2 things of "three crown" milk.
Of course you know the rest; I was never made to iron for some good weeks even after the weird iron was replaced. Till today my parents still think say na electric shock me.... TRUE STORY BRO...I STILL SEE IT IN MY HEAD ...\O/
