For a week now, there has been no steady light in udoudoma avenue, just flash and collect and our generator decided not to have pity by developing fault.
On Saturday afternoon, mum brought home goat meats with plan to make stew in the evening. She cooked and fried it. Because there was no light, she couldn't put it in the freezer so she left it in a pan in the kitchen with a strict warning that nobody should touch the goat meats, she had counted it and if it is removed she will know. She warned repeatedly before going out.
The aroma from the roasted goat meats was enough to lead me to the kitchen like a star lead the three wise men to Nazareth. I stood at the kitchen admiring fried goat meats in a pan without gut to remove it. Only me and Dad was at home hence I would be the main suspect.
I went back to my room and again, the aroma lead me back to the kitchen. My phone was off and there was nothing I could use to distract myself from the goat meat. I was in serious torture.
I met dad in the kitchen on my forth visit. He was admiring the goat meat and I could see the longing in his eyes.
Mum counted it oh, I remembered him.
Instead of removing, how about we cut off part of the some meats, we will cut it in a way she won't notice, dad suggested.
Great idea!! how come I didn't think of that since.
I hurriedly accepted and dad picked a kitchen knife for me and told me to do the cutting. I sliced off parts of the bigger meats careful not to make it noticeable.
I cut eight parts. Dad ate five and I ate three. It was too delicious and I wanted more but I just had to hold myself and wait for mum to come back and make stew.
Early in the evening mum came back and proceeded to make stew. She called me to help her.
Dad joined us in the kitchen and the very first thing he said: I saw Esther using knife to cut some of the goat meats.
Thief, mum spat.
Advice your daughter against stealing, dad said.
I didn't know when I turn, stand and look my father.
Just wanna inform; power is restored lolz
