Video reminds me of the night my WASSCE results arrived. Mum came home around 8 with two boxes of pizza and Don Simon just for me. Gaveme a plate and told me to hel myself. Hahaaaaa I was ecstatic, thinking I’d passed with flying colors. She praised me the whole time I ate.

Halfway into the second box, she called everyone in the house to come help themselves to pizza. I was on top of the world coz finally, I Korkor, was the gem in the house. Haaaaak haaak. She quietly placed my results on the table in front of me and said, “Ayekoo.”

Hm. The moment I saw my results , the bite of pizza in my mouth tasted like sand. The sand in your crèche playground. The one that accidentally fills your mouth when you fall face first coz you swing too high on the swings.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💀" title="Skull" aria-label="Emoji: Skull">

That was the most effective punishment ever. I’ve never cried harder in my life. She never raised her hand. Never said a harsh word. Just good old pettiness. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😪" title="Sleepy face" aria-label="Emoji: Sleepy face">
