We had this thermometer on top of the tele and Dad said that one day the thread will drop below zero and it would snow. (in Imo state!!)
I and my sister will sneakily go and shake this thermometer like mad, turn it upside to no avail.

After we realised that he told us that so that we can stay indoors watching the thermometer instead of wandering
out of the compound.

Awwwwwwwwww cheesy

Years past when our parents fight and I mean good fight,Mum always pack her stuffs and move to her parent's house and we, the children, are always happy cos Mummy made us share a piece of meat between the three of us but when she's out, Dad goes to mama put to buy us food with assorted meat every day for about a week until they settle.

Then, I used to think they wont last together now they both live together without any of us. If they still fight, we dont get to hear it anymore!

LWKMD. . . . .Me too, when me and my sisters were much younger, we always wish that our parents get into another big quarrel because as usual dad w.ill send her to her parents home and then we can enjoy the kind of life that we couldn't when mom was around, we'll dictate what we wanted to eat to our dad, sleep late, watch tv like crazi and sometimes even decline to go to school but whenever they settle and Margaret Thatcher is back, we are back to square one again!!!!


I remember when i was much younger and as usual i miss behave, you know normally as kids you start crying even before you are being flogged, my mum will lock the door and say "Kosi iyalaya Babangida toma gba e sile lowo mi ti nba rae gba" Metadinlogun Babangida kankan ole gba ilekun ki nsi" Meaning. . . .There is no amount of Babangida that will save you from my hand and even if Babangida tries to knock the door and plead on your behalf, it will fall on deaf ear. (Babangida was the head of state then) Each time i remember this i just burst into a fat laff.

mumsie used to invent words all the time, until we had a vocab of little known home slangs e.g. sprak out - gerrout!
if you drop something, she yells out 'break it o!' and doesn't ask if you're hurt.

she comes home and yells 'i'm hungry! why isn't there breakfast for me?' so while we're running around to prepare something she starts - bread and tea, left over rice, and by the time brekkie's ready, she eats a little and says she's full (of course she is!)

mumC eats, cleans out her plate and asks u to come and take away the 'tasteless food you gave me to eat'. we say 'mum, you cleaned your plate out, and licked the last drops!' and she answers 'yes. cos it was so terrible'.

my dad used to call himself our 'guinea pig' back then when we were learning to cook  grin grin

Kai, a lot of childhood memories are just streaming back into my head as I go through this thread. My mother had this habit of patting her head constantly while she was not engaged in any activity. I would be wondering what was in her hair that she was trying to kill smiley smiley Then she was very good with words and spoke very fluent English. She used to pick on me then as she practised her vocabulary. Here she goes: '' Stop behaving like a slowpoke!!, [ The patting of her head goes on ] '' Don't join the Junk Journalists when you grow up'' [ The patting of her head continues ].

As for my dad, there was one day I came back from my friend's house at Ikeja. I had just bought some new clothes and trainers then, so I was looking good. As I stepped into the sitting room, my dad looked at me and winked '' Hmn, so how did it go with the girl?. Talk to me. '' I was just laughing that day cool cool

I remember  one time when I was about ten, or eleven years old, the whole family was in the living room and I looked across at my darling mom and I noticed that she was staring into space, lost in thought, with a worried look across her face. Things werent the best at that point in our life. Anyways, in order to make mom laugh I interrupted her thoughts and blurted out "Ma, I can tell what ure thinking". She snapped out of her trance and looked at me, knowing that I always had something hilarious to say, and asked "Really? Ok, what was I thinking?" I replied "You were looking at me and asking urself  'wow, how on earth did I give birth to such a beautiful son'? ". My sisters and dad hadnt finish laughing at my statement when mom replied "I was thinking of u alright, but I was really asking myself 'When am I gonna have the courage to return HIM to the zoo?". Then she stood up and went to her bed room. lol. We almost died laughing. Moms left us in stitches that night!!!! oH BOY, tHOSE were the days!!! grin

y'all have got some funny stories. Anytime we beg Mumsi for money she goes, "i'm taking record of all this money i'm giving you. When you start working, i'll collect it with interest." or when we sit heavily on the sitting room chairs, she says; "I know you'll buy gold chairs for my in the future, but I don't want to sit on the floor with my husband till then". Popsi has this way of looking over his glasses when we come to ask him for something that makes one feel like he'll refuse. He usually doesn't but the few seconds before he agrees feel like years. Parents really,

1. It was Christmas and my dad offered us soft drinks, we were so expectant of the fun being our first time of ever touching it. We rushed the crate and quickly opened three bottles, lo and behold, it was tonic fanta! I don't know what kid will drink that. We couldn't tell my dad why we didn't drink it despite our initial enthusiasm.

2. We planned a night party to declare open my dad's new house only for my dad to ask at the zero that "I hope you guys are not planning on bringing girls into this house?" It wasn't funny, we canceled the party and disappeared to avoid being lynched by party hungry friends.

MY DAD- hmmmm.

1. He never wanted us to watch the video cassete player in his absence(God knows why). He would remove the player from the living room to his bedroom, Carefully keep it and draw on a sheet of paper, a diagram of the positioning of the electricity cable running from the machine, then hide the paper somewhere. when he returns, he will use the diagram to see if the cable is still in the position he left it. If yes- that means we never touched it. If no, we get some serious flogging. One day we stumbled on the diagram book and since that time, he never flogged us again, cos we would use it and arrange it back using the diagram.

2. He never wanted anyone to touch his car especially wheneva he travelled, so he would use charcoal to mark the tyre positions. upon his return, he would check to see if the car was still parked within the marks he made. When we discovered, we would cruise the car well well, park it anyhow, clean his own marks and make new marks whereva we park it grin grin grin

my dad would always brag of how he caught my mum
that my mum was the hottest chick back in those days
and that her shakara was too much
sometimes he feel like slapping her for all the hard times she gave him
he would say'' look at her now she is in my house''
in his presence my mum would say that she just pitied him
but when he is not around my mum will say that
'' u dad was really handsome in those days and all the ladies wanted him badly''

but when we ask her that ''why do u keep saying to him that u pitied him''
she will say u people better shut up otherwise,

and ofcourse she is the margareth thatcher of the house but my dad ever sweet and gentle

i can remember that we had this china mug in the house
and anytime anyone comes close to it my mum will shout '' u better be careful o, that mug is older than u''
my dad will just shake his head
sometimes she will go '' oh this mug why dont u just break and go, u have tried o jare''

and then one faithful day while holding it on the balcony and my parents sitting outside the house
it fell and landed just in front of my mum
she yell like i had killed someone and gave me the beating of my life, it took my dad to rescue me

months after the incident my dad jokingly talked about it (refering to the mug as her first love)
she was mad '' that my dad had planned it with me to get rid of the mug
and this time it took God to prevent me from getting another pounding

very funny responses.

reminds me of the day I and my Mum went to visit my granny.
she had an argument with my Mum and next minute, she came out with a kobo to flog my Mum.
we had to escape through the back door. scary!

and when my grand dad's gun was missing, she was so mad.
she said she was going to learn how to shoot it before it was stolen. "if any of these armed robber come, i was going to open the window and shoot out a round!". she was 70 then.

wow, may her soul rest in peace.

i remember wen i was about 5 and my mom had just had a baby, i went to her saying i wanted my own kid and how did she do it.
she said she just prays with daddy and God gives her a child, i went and grabbed my older brother and made him pray with me, after 3 days, without a kid ofcourse, i oncluded she was lying.

who remembers how wen u get moeny wen ure young and ur mom asks to keep it for you, u never see ur money again and wen u ask, u either get 'the look' or it was used to buy something for u, lol

in my house, my mom was the boss(still is) dad was the nicer one(still is), if we want something or want to go out, we ask daddy, he says, if we dont ask mummy and get an agreement, we aint going nowhere!

whenever momsie was travelling, we could hardly wait to see her go and when she comes back, no one's really excited. when popsie travels, we are sad, and wen he comes back, eveyrone is all smiles and happy.
she confessed to us later(after we had all grown up) that it made her sad, cos she thought we all loved our dad and didnt like her. lol
well thing is, no kid likes being shouted on or beat so until u grow up, we all think of our moms as terrors.
