Christmas???
"Mum! Two days to go! Christmas is on Tuesday and I haven't made my hair, I haven't bought my dress, the shoe you promised me", I ranted out loudly, "you know I already asked Mama Chima to keep that shoe for me, mummy when exactly are you going to give the money for these things???"
My mum looked at me and smiled, "I don't know....just be patient"
"Mum my hair!!! At least give me some money to go and braid my hair,......"
"See me oooo! Mummy if you're giving Lola money for her hair you must give me too", my sister said out loudly, running out of her room, she must have been hearing our conversation.
"Shey you said you'll use this hair for Christmas...."
"I can lose it now oooo, as in sharp sharp..."
"Mum, me I don't care bout sis o, please just give me money to braid my hair, the attachment costs $950, I want to put bead, like five packs that's $500, I should wash my hair, $300, I'll fix lashes, $500, I'll fix my nails, $500...."
"Only you all this things?"
"Yes mum. Shey you saw Titti yesterday, I want to look beautiful like her and you know we're all going out together", I continued, "it won't be fair if I'm the only one that will look like this....."
"Mum, me too o,..."
I eyed my senior sister, "mum....please...."
"I have heard you. Don't worry..."
"Thank you! Thank you!!!!", I hugged her happily, "I will make my hair... I will wear new clothes....and shoes", I sang happily dancing around my sister....
