See that aeroplane going! My dad is the pilot' I remember
that to be one of my fables I gave friends in High School.
As you all know, a school is a gathering of humans with
different characters and attitudes. You get to meet some
extra ordinary jovial people and some crazily weirdos you
would wonder if they were humans.


And for the fact that there are a lot of people claiming they
are rich in their family, you wouldn't want to be caught off
guard. You also want to belong and claim your family owns
Computer Village, even.


I had an imaginary uncle then in London that brought stuffs
for me, I always told my friends. My uncle travelled every
week to London. And when he came back, he made sure he
came with a different car and a lot of goodies.


I once told my friends my uncle brought a Chewing Gum
that never loses its taste. You will chew and chew and it
continues to get sweetened the more it stays in your mouth.
I was telling Samuel the other day on how I chewed the
gum for 3days and later spat it out. He asked why I did
that, since it doesn't lose its taste. I knew I had been caught
off guard. But I still tried to cover up telling him I wanted
to try the Macaroni flavour.


I claimed my younger ones were given birth to in the
States, Tulsa, Oklahoma to be precise. I wasn't there at
their birth, but I once went with my dad to celebrate my
younger brothers birthday, when he was 3. We decided not
to go by Flight. We took a speed boat instead and we spent
3 days on Sea.


Told them there were so many bus tops on the sea and
what they basically sold are fishes. That there was a fish that
looked like a Lion, people of that locality called it Fishion. I
told them we saw Mermaids when we got to the American
Sea. And they were waving at us. That mermaids are
friendly beings and not evil.


Mind you, it wasn't me alone that did this. A guy came to
join us then in SS2 . Abiola would tell us he spent his
summers in Chicago, Michael Jordan was his next door
neighbour. They practiced basketball together
everymorning and immediately after practice, they always
had enough to eat. We all believed anyway as this guy
looked American.


I remember Toke, a girl like that. They had almost
everything you mentioned that you have in your family,
even the latest. There was a time a certain girl's parents
bought a Mercedes Benz 200. Toke said her dad had 3
Mercedes Benz 2000 and it didn't run on petrol, but Olive
Oil and it could recognize all of them in the family. Anytime
they entered into the car, The car would mention their
name and welcome them.


Ramon was someone we all believed his fables should have
been noticed by the Military as this guy could make you
believe anything. His lies were not on 4G Networks self,
they run on Optical Fibers. Ramon once told us his Dad
Rode on Bicycle to Saudi Arabia. and when we asked him
how he crossed the sea, he said the bicycle was a special one
and it could fly.


I also remember him telling us they had a tree in the
compound that bore different fruits. That his dad was
presented with that by a Djin in the desert, while he was
travelling.


Dimeji made us to under that his dad fought in the World
War 1. He fought along side the Germans and was decorated
with so much Awards for his gallantry. That after World
War I, he came back to fight Africa War 1 and was later
invited to assist China in the Asia War 3. He surely
capitalised on the fact that we might not be able to unravel
the truth since the event happened in way past.


High school was fun anyway. Though we all later realized
we were scoping each other as in one way or the other, we
got to know where everyother person lived and we never
saw anything we claimed to have.


The girl that claimed they had Mercedes Benz 2000,
actually happened to be the daughter of a Commercial Bus
Driver. Dimejis dad was just a Neighborhood Watch Official
of the LAGOS State Government, Yes, Ramon's DAD was
an Alahaji, but he never rode to Mecca, and they only
happened to have lots of fruits in their compound that his
mum simply sold them at the market.


SO GUYS, LET'S GET TO KNOW ABOUT THOSE LIES
YOUR FRIENDS TOLD WAY BACK THEN ...KINDLY
COMMENT.
