Awwwwww.. Kids are just so lovely .. Entertaining thread..

An incident happened of recent (I think during the 3rd term holiday).. My cousin (9+) who will be hitting JS2 came over for the holiday.. This boy is so intelligent and inquisitive that he just wants to know, and touches everything he sees.. I got so shocked when he mastered how to play games on my tab since I drop it @ home..

One fateful day, I came back from school.. From the gate, someone was kneeling and crawling towards me, eyes already swollen.. I was wondering what happened..

Me: E, what's the problem? Did anyone beat you? Why are you crying?
E: Nobody.. I did something bad, and I am sorry **still sniffing**
Me: What did you do?
E: I cannot say it.. You will beat me..
He brought out a sheet of paper from his pocket, dumped it in my hand, and ran away in shame..

Guess what was in the paper? .. I was angry that outta his inquisitiveness, he formatted my tab but I was so touched @ the letter he wrote me that I couldn't do anything to him .. And that was how I lost everything on that tab, and had to start afresh..

Tuwo is any swallow!
Tuwo masara: is from corn
Tuwon shinkafa is from rice
Tuwon doya is from yam
Alubo is ground cassava often mixed with ground corn...
Masara: corn, shinkafa: rice, doya: yam
Just like that...
