"Daddy please!, Daddy please!!, Daddy please!!" I cried as I tried escaping from the angry strokes of my father, running towards my mother who was just returning from the market.
"Is okay, do you want to injure this boy, eh?" My mom shouted at my dad as she quickly dropped the leather bags of foodstuff she brought from the market
" If you did not let me do my Job as his father, I will beat you and beat him also" my dad said as he threatened my mom to allow him to beat me
"You want to beat me, NO beat me, Papa Kunle beat me, beat me, let me see if your a man beat me, ah ah" My mom said in her youruba Intonation, holding the shirt of my dad, my dad looked at me and said " Lojoojumọ fun ole ṣugbọn ọjọ kan fun oniwun, everyday for the thief but one day for the owner" pulling the hands of my mom from his shirt and he left, my mom kept on screaming that he can't do anything to me as long she is alive, when my dad had gone inside our hurt my mom faced me and asked me few questions.
" Kunle, Kunle, Kunle, how many times did I call you?" My mom asked
" Three times ma" I replied her
" Kini o ti ṣẹlẹ, what happened?, tell me truth" my mom said
" I was just playing with my friend's then he called me and I did not hear him" I said and was snubbing
"Wipe your tears, is That all?" She asked
" Yes ma" I replied her wiping the tears in my eyes with my palms
" Ah ah, You see what I have always been telling you, don't allow play to take over you all the time eh, you know how this house is for the both of us" she said
"Yes ma" I responded
