TO INHALE OR TO EXHALE.

The aloe vera plant on our balcony refused to grow. It preferred to remain stagnant, until it started to shrink. It was no fault of ours. It was a personal choice of its, for it had a mind of its own. We watered it daily, made it accessible to adequate sunlight, put it in good soil. What else did it need? So when my mother compared my sister to the aloe vera plant, I knew she was one step from giving up on her, just as we were from giving up on the aloe vera plant. "At least if we throw away the aloe vera, it could be manure." My mother said. "You'll have no use even if you're thrown away." On a lighter note, I would have shouted: one-zero, indicating that my mother just scored a savage point against my sister. But this wasn't a lighter note, and since I wasn't interested in having my previous misdeeds exhumed like my sister's, I kept quiet. I couldn't quite get the reason for all the shouting initially, but I knew it had to do with our

"It's the hiding and fear of the unexpected that makes our relationship fun; i ma go(you know), more lively." Chief said when I tried to convince him for the umpteenth time to make me his second wife, at least, since he cannot send his wife packing. "I'm tired of being unofficial.

TGIF

“We look good together." I wanted to ask if f**k boys have a school they all attend, or if, as a matter of convenience, a 'words-to-say-to-get-the-jar- open' manual was in circulation. But I didn't. "You're the prettiest girl I know." You continued. "Eziokwu." I said to myself.  "I could be doing something totally unrelated to you and you pop into my head. "Osheyyy pin-pop" (within me). "I'm serious. I know you think I'm prevaricating. Ask Philip, my neighbour. Just the other day..." "It's ok. I believe you." I said with a tagged smile to cut you short, and at the same time wondering how I got myself in this mess. Which one is pre-whatever again! Williams was better. Although he was a f**k boy, he didn't speak too much English.  Where did I install this problem from? I asked myself. O! Pekas. *sighs* So one  Friday  my friends and I wanted to hangout (TGIF).  We decided to go to Pe
