As easy as candy

"As easy as taking candy from a baby"



Who ever said that obviously knows nothing about children or hasnt ever tried taken candy or anything from a baby.



If my earlier post left you feeling like am one of those mamas blessed with an cute adorable girl child then I apologise.

Well, she is quite cute ( dont mind if I say so myself) but sometimes she behaves like a pikin!!!



As I compose this post, I really dont know whether to laugh or be upset or just generally be ashamed of myself( please advise).



Lemme explain the situation:



I havent eaten a proper meal all day thanks to Nepa ( actually I ran out of gas & cant go out to top up the cylinder cos Shafu's ill), so in short am very hungry.



Then uncle J brought a meat pie for Shafu - Uncle J is Auntie T's beau and he is seriously courting Shafu cos she is going to be little bride at their wedding later in the year.



Anyways I had to give the pie to her royal majesty so that she can properly thank uncle J, which she refused to do.



Me, being her very hungry mother who is also insughtful enogh to know that a child of 23 months cant possibly finish a whole pie by herself, then proceeded on the arduos task of trying to score half a meatpie off a toddler. Which is no mean feat I assure you!!!



I tried everything, I begged, cajoled, sang,( talk about singing for ones supper!),danced and even put on my LISTEN-TO-ME-RIGHT-NOW-I'M-YOUR-MOTHER growl, for where ??? Nothing worked. The little madam just turned around went to the other side of the room plopped herself on the carpet - breaking off a third of the pie in the process, nibbling a smidgen and crumbling the rest all over the carpet in an ecstatic glee.



Guess who will sweep the carpet.....................................................



Yep!!! Her hungry, househelpless mother!!! GOD DEY.
