My friend! Ur problem pass Nigeria current situation

You Sabi write and make your story interesting to read and fun as well. I don laugh tire.

My own oversized clothes story is to long, let me just say small.
I lived with my uncle from when I was 10yrs.
Almost all my clothes were oversized, most of them were giving to me by grown ups who have used it themselves before giving it to me.
Sometimes I will cut the trouser to my hight and will look like skirt on me.

You are very funny.Thats very true

hbemigho:
I believe it is peculiarly characteristic of Nigerian parents to buy extremely oversized clothing and accessories for their children.

I mean, how can you go to the market to buy a shirt or shoe for me and you left me at home?

How?

So my mum will take a broom stick to measure my leg before going to the market and then come back with a shoe that is almost the size of my father's leg.

Wawu!

Mummy edakun, bhet what happened to the broomstick you went with na?

Or issit that you measure my leg to goan buy shoe for daddy? �

Of course, you know I cannot voice any of these out. Na inside my mind the conversation dey go on.

Or should I talk about how my dad will drive to Warri to buy longsleeve shirts for me and my brother, that after wearing the shirt, we will now be looking like all those overzealous upcoming evangelist sent against their will to win lost souls for Christ in the remotest of villages.

The painful part is that my dad will now be saying,

Wow! See as this cloth fit you. I wish I can take it for myself.

Inside my mind I wee be like, why not just take it na, it's kukuma your size you have bought so.

For many years, I tried to figure out why our parents were always exhibiting this behavior.

If it's because they want us to wear the cloths for a longer period as we dey grow like agric fowl, so that we won't be outgrowing cloths per second, per second.

But you know what usually happens?

Before we will now grow into the cloths, like when the one they bought for me is now actually my size, the shirt go don wash, fade or tear anyhow.

So what is now the point?

As a young boy with too much swag, I was always having severe chest pain in my neck whenever my parents wanted to get us new cloths.

The day I gave up on the struggle was when my mum accompanied my dad to the optometrist to select a glass frame for him

Brethren, my supposedly ever young fineboy dad came back wearing one kind glasses that had him looking like an old retired government secondary school principal in one of those remote villages.

The frame nor just fit am at all.

The thing was very oversize.

As in the glass frame big pass my daddy's small face.

My mum kept saying wow, see how you are looking so smart.

Omo!

Inside my mind, I was saying "yes make e dey go round like this."

This oversize ehn, everybody must collect!

I remembered asking my father to buy a Christmas dress for me,he ended up buying a parachute kind of dress and trouser for me i was flying in it..
As a smart kid that i am and with the help of my mom then, i ended up wearing his slimfitted trouser and shirt for my Xmas celebration because i refused going to church that day..

Back then I didn't need to "wear" my clothes. I simply "walked" into them.

liztop2012:
I know someone that wore the 'coat' she wore for primary six graduation for her ND project defence upper year, it fitted her very well so I was imagining how it looked on her when in pry six����

lol..chei..

While growing up in terms of dressing I was so so smart, anytime my mum buys over size cloth for me I will tell it to her face that I don't like it and that it is too big I'll ask her to help me shape it to my size but she will insist and growing up every day and there is nothing she can do about it, my brothers and sisters I will make sure I cry the living hell out of me, and trust my mum she is always ready to make sure the living hell comes faster by beating the hell out

E get one baggy jeans my mama by for me in 2001 during Christmas. Now I'm 29 years, living alone and independent but I still have that jeans in my wardrobe.


But I swear to God, up till now that jeans never still size me. Sometimes I go wan throway am but I still see it as a treasure that should be in a museum . I only wore that jeans once and that was boxing day of 2001. I remember those agbero kids in my street at Isale eko (you know how rugged that place was back then) laughing me and using me to do yeye.i can never forget. Shame catch me so tay I run back go house go off am instantly and that was the last time I ever wore it. This is 2021 and that shi doesn't still size me. When I look at it, am always like "what the hell". How did I look on this baggy jeans back then. As a kid, I preferred my father buying cloths for me. He go buy you confirm stuff wey you sef go like but you see my mama ehn, she go buy you cloth wey you go fit use for the next 20 years.

God! I nearly choked with laughter. Thanks man.

StreetFight:
Till today, I am very uncomfortable in fitted clothes. I grew up in oversized clothes and I am used to it. My feet is currently size 42, but I wear size 44 and sometimes manage size 43. I cannot wear a show that is my size, its makes me very uncomfortable. I don't like tight things. Even while growing up, only big aunties with big pusssies were fuccking me, so till today, I don't like tight pusssies.

One million salutation to my late grandma. I know she is eating and dinning with God

i don't like tight pussci? Ur case is different,




Anyway pls what is size 42 convert to American size? Someone wan dash me shoe there.
