Growing up with my one and only sibling Joshua with our parents was a memorable one with those excited moment we all spent together most especially the experience I had with my younger brother back then in the 1990s. Though, I was seven years older than him, but one thing about life is that, no matter how old you are, a child given birth today can still catch up with you no matter the age difference. Though catching up might not really be of age, but of height, stature and smartness.
So, like I said earlier, I was seven years older than my younger brother due to the delay our parents had after I was given birth to. But one thing that really amazed me was that even with the seven years, that baby that was given birth to when I was seven years really grew faster than expected. He grew faster both in the physical and in other aspect of his life. And as a result, Joshua would always be of the thought that we are mate even up till now.
There's a lot of excited moment I and my younger brother had together while growing up, there's times we had misunderstanding, most especially when he has caught up with me in stature. Then I used to be like,
" Joshua you have to give me my due respect as I'm not your mate ooo" and do you know what his response would be, he would always replied me by saying " I know you are not my mate, but we are of equal height." This is response used to get to me back then that I would be like, "don't worry, all those things. I used to buy for you, I will stop buying them for you." So, he too would be like, " don't buy it and my mum would buy those things for me."
Those times were really the excited moment of my life. The way we used to behave to each other atimes used to make me feel nostalgic these days. There's times, we used to act as cat and rat, and some other time, the kind of love we used to show to ourselves can't be quantified. I could remember one of our heated arguments that bonded us together the more.
It all started when I broke one of the plates in the house. Then, my brother whom I have offended a day before showed up when I was trying to pack the debris of the plate to dispose. So when he saw me, he said; " Sam, I told you that one day would be one day that I would catch you red handed." So when I heard this, I wanted to use bold eye for him and I said, " eehn what now happened?" He then replied by saying, " my friend, you better stop using bold eyes for me as that would not save you from me reporting you to mummy." And one thing about my mum was that, back then, she hated her utensils most especially her glass plates to get broken.
So, it's then I realized that using strong head would not save me from my brother's decision of reporting me to my mum. So, i took off my ego and I said " Josh, please, I beg you in the name of God, don't report me to mummy." But he would not listen to my plea, rather, he was adamant of reporting me to mummy, but I would not stop begging him. It's in the process of my begging that my mum entered and saw the broken plate on the floor of the kitchen and when she saw it, she asked, " who broke this plate." And immediately I heard her asking the question I replied her by saying, " I broke the plate." oshua wanted to talk, but my mum shut him up and asked me to pack the debris and dispose it to the dustbin which I did with joy in my heart without any delay. With this, Joshua had nothing to say again than to shut up his mouth.
So, throughout the day, I was happy and Joshua was moody for he has not been able to report me to our mum. So, after somedays, everything was settled and we became friends again. It's was really a memorable experience having him as a brother most especially while growing up. Now, maturity has taken over everything from us and we're now fathers and husbands to our children and wives respectively.
Thanks for reading.
