Creativity mindset
(My last meal while packing my bags πππ€)
Ok i just want to tell a little story.
Will use pidgin language too here for those that are in my country to relate well with the experience π€
This actually happend some few years ago , that was the first time i was visiting my big aunty in one of the big cities in my country, (Abuja Nigeria)
It was really some how amazing but funny experience too.
This my aunty and her husband were doing very well for themselves,
They got housekeepers and all around the house was always very arranged and organised too..
What impressed me was how i was welcomed to the house like a very special person because i was only supposed to be there for a 3weeks holiday.
I just finished my jamb then and was waiting for waec.
Growing up I didn't really enjoy that luxury sha ,like naija will say that kind lifestyle na for ajebo children oo.
where everything and everywere will be so co-ordinated too.
So the night i first arrived i was served some rice with stew and juice, was even giving like two glases of apple juice and a lap of chicken that very night..
Omo in my mind ehh i was like see enjoyment oo , like ehh everywhere was just intact.
After that my one night ,
The next morning i was being directed where to bath and brush ,
Later i decided to go to the fridge.
There i noticed something about my Aunty's fridge.
Like it was full with so many stuffs, chickens,
Biscuits ,
Fruits drinks etc.
all kinds of eat-able full the place jaree and it was as if no one touches the fridge.
That very morning she went to the fridge and brought out one big chilled big coca cola drink for me.
We all had 2slice of bread including her husband and 3 kids and the two housekeeper, and my aunty was the one that made the food , and she added one boiled egg each for everyone as breakfast too.
Funny part was that i wanted to say 2slice of bread can't be enough for me oo but,
Then she told me to feel at home,
Hmm so I felt at home oo ..
Nobody complained.
I noticed my Aunty's children were just looking at me somehow and i just didnt get it.
I thought that they were used to all the stuffs,
you know that kind thing now when you get tired of something, especially food because you have it more than enough.
I was just happy to be there because ehh in my house, immediately we see drinks or bread anytime we don't let it see the next day.
We eat it immediately and wait till another comes, unless we are having an occasional celebration then we wait but at the end ,non of those things will last after 2days with 2girls and 2guys in the houseπ.
Well my aunty's children were nice to me though, because when their parents left they were calm and respectful too, always quiet on their own.
As for me i was thinking of how to complete my breakfast oo, there was 4loafs of big slice cake breads in the fridge,
Who am i not to go and take more since everything was in bulk, soft drinks, biscuits ,etc.
I vowed to eat till I get tired self.
/In my mind ehh , i was telling myself i came to have vacation and I will have it to the fullest/.
So when everywhere was somehow calm i decided to quench thirst first, went to the fridge and took a big bottle of big coca- cola drink and about 5 biscuit's.
And i later took like 7slice of bread too along.
My Aunty's kids were just looking at me again..
Well i didnt send sha i was just imagining getting fat under one week with all the foods there before i get to go back homeπ.
So later in the afternoon my aunty came back from her shop to give us lunch.
She entered the kitchen and headed to the fridge ,i was already sleeping by then till someone woke me up minutes later,
"My mum is calling all of us.
Thats what i heard the 10year old girl say.
I got up and followed her .
Next minute everyone was in the big kitchen,
Including the housekeepers.
"Please who took one of the big cola from the fridge,and 7slice of bread with about 5 packs of biscuits from the pack.
My aunty was asking and she was actually with a book.
Everybody pointed at me.
**Emmi, I thought your cousins and the housekeepers showed you the timetable .
I said "yes ma,
With a nod.
So why eat again, she asked.
I was thirsty and hungry ma,**
Oww ok , anyways you need to make sure, you will start to follow the rules of this house ok , she said it very calmly.
I said " yes auntie,
That coke and biscuit was supposed to be your lunch and the bread was supposed to be your breakfast for 2days.
She asked if i kept the other four packs of biscuits.
I brought out the 5empty packs of the biscuit I ate.
My God You ate all? only you? Emmi!!!. she asked.
Anyways ,just know you will eat tomorrow, and remember breakfast every Saturday is by 10am, and its usually tea and biscuit , u were to eat just one pack and off course, you have eaten your Saturday's breakfast for the next 2weeks.
Your next meal will be at night but just know you have missed your lunch for the next 3days no drinks or bread for you.
After saying that i really thought she will change her mind,
2days later after i was giving only one egg and tea as breakfast while others ate bread and egg,
I had to call my mom that night that I want to come back home..
Omo them no train me with time table abeg before hunger will finish meππ..
End .
