African elders can be very funny sometimes. If a child is too smart, it's a problem, if they are not so smart, it's still a problem, they just want you to be average like everyone else. Just imagine your aunt saying you will be corrupt simply because you gave her a very formal greeting which was unlike any other 7-year-old child. At least your mother became more supportive later on

Hahaha. That's Africans for you, always trying to shrink someone, something, talents, anything that is threatening their egos. I am glad I had a supportive mum too. Thank you for visiting.
