A boy will always behave like a boy, I remember one sunny day my parents send me to take a grinding pepper to our grandma who lives in second street. However, as I was sent off carrying a plastic filled with fresh grinding pepper for my grandma, I notice a group of my friends playing football. Being a true fan and football player I joined them and forget I was sent to deliver something to my grandma.
Honestly, football is always a temptation whenever I was busy doing something or was sent to do something, if I see where they are playing I will make sure I be part of it and that is why I dropped the bag of the pepper I was sent to joined in the game. If you know me from my childhood you will know I am skillfully player, my friends called me 'King of street soccer.
I joined the guys playing the football and like 30 minutes into the game I've already forgot I was sent an errand. Infact not quite long I shot a wide ball with forces that went straight to where I put the peppers plastic, the shot send them fly in different directions the pepper was rolled on the ground.
Immediately the pepper was rolled on the ground I realized it a big problem for me because my mom already warn me not to play ball while going, but I couldn't listen to her. Now I have to look for way to fix this mess and my parents and grandma must not knows about it. I quickly make a plan and fortunately I still have little peppers on the plastic, I brought in a brilliant idea to dilute the remaining pepper with water. I rushed down to nearby water pump and turned water to turn the vibrant red peppers into a watery diluted mess.
I was a bit satisfied because the pepper is now heavy on the plastic and I put the diluted pepper back into the bag, hoping grandma is old enough not to suspect a thing. While I continue my journey to grandma house, all using my mind to pray that my plan should work perfectly.😂😂 Upon arriving at my grandma's house, I greeted him with beautiful smile to get her attention away from what I'm holding. Not upto 10minutes I saw my mother coming from far, I told grandma I want to use the toilet meanwhile I want to try escaping from her sight because of my mother coming from far.
That evening I don't know maybe is my mother that discovered the pepper or grandma, I'm already on the run so everything will not be in my presence. But later in the evening my mother came back home holding a flask, I thought she bought food for me and my brother but not knowing my mother already find out and she dishes all the soup cooked with the watery pepper home for me.
She come in and handover the flask to me said " Take that is your food for the week and you must not throw it away, untill the soup finish before you can taste any other things in this house" omg 😱 this is crazy. But I don't have choice I have to comply with the condition.
From that day forward, i learned a valuable lesson about responsibility and distraction. Wherever you find yourself don't let your hobbies to distract you from what you need to achieve in life. I can't lie to you I have to finish the soup in 2days with proper monitoring before I was serve another food in the house.
