Our aged parents at times supplies us with love and kindness. But, most times, their action baffles me. Are you surprised over my statement? Well, those that lived to see their grand and great-grand-parents will understand. But, if you're not opportune to see any, keep on reading and you will clearly see and understand what we're passing through in their hand, both good and bad. lolz.
I have an aged parent. Remember, my Dad's parents are also my parents. So, the one I wanna relate what transpired in-between me, my younger one and her is my Dad's mother, (my grandmother).
The woman is loving and kind. There is no single day that would pass without me tasting her food. Whenever she cook, tho, I does it for her most times, she must make sure I taste it. If am sick, she must make sure I take some medications and she won't eat until she sees me recovering. The way she displays her affection for me can't be over emphasized. But, there is this saying, that whatever that has advantage must also have disadvantage.
Do you know that her action toward me some times leads me into doubting her love for me. There are times I do ask myself if what she's displaying toward me is not love rather, infatuation. To get it right, let me tell you guys what's going on right now.
Yesterday, my Dad went to our farmland to prepare the land for farming since the season is here. While coming back, he brought rabbit 馃悋 which he killed at the farm. Personally, I prepared the meat. While doing the work, grandma kept watching me and was doing as if it's irritating to her. Hmm, my people, after cooking the stuff, as usual, in our house, it's a routine to dry bush meat with fire before consumption. As I placed the meat on fire to dry, today, after a while, I and my kid sister went inside our room to catch some fun. Suddenly, I heard sound from the kitchen where am drying the meat. I peeped from my window and saw grandma eating the meat. I asked my sister what to do, she said that if we don't let her know we've catch her, she might deny. With that, we decided to go out from our room.
Then, grandma as an experienced, immediately called us. We went, and she gave us some meat which we ate freely. Hours later, Dad came back. He asked me to dish out the meat to him, then, he found out that one part of the meat is missing. He asked where it is. Grandma immediately told him that we ate it I and my sister). Heey, dear friends, what should we do? Right now dad have gone inside to bring cane. Should we expose the truth? or should we accept grandma's accusation? You guys should respond in time before dad comes out to flog us.
