Good day everyone. This is my first time in this amazing community and I feel really good. I have read a few works here and I find this community really interesting. Underneath is my entry for the contest. Hope it makes me you smile. 😀
While growing up, I was an adventurous kid. I did a lot of things you cannot imagine. In the middle of my adventures, I broke everything I touched including my own bones, mangled my leg under tyres, sprained my ankles.
But this post isn't about my adventurous childhood where I did unimaginable things as a kid. This post is about the event that led to me being nicknamed "The Chairman" in my neighbourhood . 😉😌
I was a kid then. Say 8,9. I had this penchant for playing with everything I saw. It was always fun until this very moment.
I was playing with a chair. It was a four legged small wooden step stool. I remember climbing the stool then jumping over it on the sofa to practice that stunt the Undertaker does on WWE. It was fascinating. Well until the devil whispered to me " Jojo, have you wondered why people sit on top of the wooden stool and not the under". I thought of it. It was a valid question that was begging for an answer. And so I decided to find answers.🤔
So, I flipped the stool and tried to sit on the space between the four legs. It was hard for me to fit in but I tried. I was motivated by the fact that no discovery comes easy. After all Thomas Edison made 1000 unsuccessful attempts before inventing the light bulb.
So after many efforts and attempts my bum finally went in. It was a satisfying moment. Jojo the explorer. Put a mark to my name. I thought of scenes where I will be receiving my Nobel Prize for best acts/discoverer of the year. And how I will use use the prize money in helping my mum buy a car. Hehehe. What little Jojo didn't know was that mum was the one who was going to help me get my bum that was stuck in the stool. 😩😩😭😭
I tried to struggle out of the stool but it wasn't working. Dad was at work. My brothers had all gone out to play football. Mum was at the shop ( the back of the house). I wailed. I shouted. I screamed. But the shouts were inaudible to them. So I had no other option but to move with my bum bum stuck with the chair to find my mum.
There were people on the road and they could not help but laught at me. It was an embarrassing moment. 😪😪😪
I think my mum heard the laughs and came out. She tried pulling the stool off my bum bum. Other people joined in. It . After some minutes I was freed. But I paid the price for it. Couldn't sit properly for days.
This solitary event gave me the nickname "Chairman". A name that is still there even after so many years.
My travails with the chair is one funny moment I can never forget. I still get get taunts till this day. It was and is still a funny and embarrassing moment when I remember all that happened. 🌚😪😒
Greatful to 
Thank you so much everyone.
