Hello my finsis....... I get one gist wey I want dash una. My bro in law stays in my house whenever he is in town, maybe when he comes back from school and now that he is serving, when he comes home.(We live in Lee bobo's home town). He is a very rude and stubborn guy, (even before I met Lee boo) though he is a sophisticated, nice and friendly guy to me when he is in good mood and he avoids me when angry. Then, they think he was being childish and were hopeful that he will change. So, every member of the family use to kind of fear him(my own perception) except my hubby who does not, being the eldest man among. When he started bringing his stuffs one by one to my house when we moved in, I eavesdrop my hubby telling him to be of good character especially to me bcos any clash between us will not be funny.
Later, he told me too, to be careful bcos I already know the type of person he is.
But, this my in law will no stop looking for my trouble in the aspect of food. He sees any food item laying about as a bonus to him, my children's extra food and snacks included. He can finish a crate of soft drink within 3 days. Whenever I report to hubby, he will just take it with levity and tell me to always keep properly, whatever I don't want him to take. Yesterday ooooo, ur's sincerely cooked yam and pieces fish stew for breakfast, though the fish were scanty in the stew. But hubby, kids, my cousin and I, ate it joyfully. This morning, I got to the kitchen to make breakfast of rice, cooked egg and sauce. Only for me to discover that 3 eggs were missing. I shouted like a train horn to call my cousin, I asked her about the egg and she said #uncle said i should help him to fry 3 eggs yesterday, that the fish in the stew were too few for him. That, he has asked daddy and he said, he should go ahead#. I was like WHAT? Shaperly I cooked the meal, serve everybody's food with one egg each and left his without egg. I was yet to cover my in laws food when hubby came and saw it.....
Hubby; what happened to his food, no crown?
Me; Yes, shebi na u give him permission to eat 3 eggs yesterday.
Hubby; emm em yes, e no matter now.
Me; that was his own. He don chop pass sef.
Hubby; any how, get him one make e no begin feel somehow.
Me: OK.
He left the scene after the order.
#End of discussion #
I removed Hubby's egg and placed on his.
They both sat there to eat at the same time. Hubby opened his food and Shouted my name like a China phone.....
Me; yes dear. Why u shout like that?
Hubby; what happened to my food?
Me; u ordered that I should get him an egg anyhow, and this is the best I could do.
Hubby faces brother....
Hubby; You...why are u this insatiable?
Why do u like overusing opportunities?
Why are u this greedy?
Why are u always looking for trouble?
Brother: I don't understand.
Hubby: just shut ur trap and give me my egg. How could u fry 3 eggs at once after being served with stew and u come lie join say na me grant u permission. My dear, u will have to go back home oo. I no get liver for all this nonsense.
Brother; sorry Sir, sorry ma. I no know say he no good. Since, nobody ever complained about it.
I just left the scene after the apology and leave them to settle each other.
moral of the story.. Action speaks louder than voice. My voice did not work but action did.
