On the good side I'm dady's favourite, always getting the best of his attention and gifts. Absolutely no one dare touch me, no matter my atrocities towards them.
I could get on my elder brother's narve as I pleases and get away with it. I was not just a pain in their ass but a terror which they must love and Cherish with all their heart.
My dad will always scold them,and said; 'If you don't treat her well whom did you expect to? And beside she is a woman and won't be staying in this house forever. My dad was right, after marriage I shall leave to my husband house.
On the down side, I'm girl and I hate to think that, there are things they can do while I can not. So, I'm always on a silent mission of proving myself to them and that really sucks.
From competing with them during clearing of farm and to joining them In playing football after school.
I use to enjoy this unending rival between us until the day of my reckoning, that day I realised that no matter how strong I think was, I'm not as strong or skilled in some farming activities as they were or not even as strong as they are at all. And that hurt a lot not just the scars I got in the process but the truth of reality of my ability hurts me more.

A truck was to go to farm and pack yam, my mom will never let me jump into the back of the truck while moving slowly but my brothers always did and I will just be standing there while they look so happy doing it and they will tell me I can't. Oh! I hated that so much.
So, on that day, while one of my brother was sitting close to the driver I left the house and hid on the road to the farm. When they got to my side I tried to jumped in, the same way my brothers use to.
To my ultimate surprise, my leg Sliped from the truck, next thing I landed on the ground. At first I thought I had lost my tooth I was lucky I did not. Once I got up, I looked around and no one saw me or knew what happened.
I quickly got up and brush myself up, I was so embarrassed but was relived no one was watching. I ran inside my room quietly, changed my cloth and never told anyone about the incident.
But not without leaving me with a deep cut on my left arm of which uptill today the scars is still here.
I learnt to respect my brothers more since then, and realised that I'm not physically strong as they are, because we are build differently and for different purpose.

It's funny how embarrassing memories stick fast. I love the image of you getting up and looking around to see if anyone noticed you!
Hahaha, this one I can not forgot even till tomorrow.
My reaction then was epic.I was scared my mom would found out that I fell, that will mean enough scolding from her and my dad. And another reason for my brothers to laugh and said "we told you, you are not as strong as we are".
