At least, today is not your birthday and not that I told you to help me do all these. Oh no you even remembered to get our favorite groceries. That’s interesting”. Mum was glad I shopped for her without telling me.
Why are you not talking son? She asked with a tone of seriousness. Or have you won heavy money from your sports betting?
Just as she rounded up her talk, I dipped my hand into my pocket and handed her my letter of admission, neatly wrapped. From the chair where she sat examining her jewelry, she stretched and took her second eyes, her glasses and read through the details on the letter headed admission letter.

‘Ehn, so my son will be going to the university anytime soon? Oh, my good Lord, I thank you. She stood, and began dancing, swerving her waist to and fro the same way she’d done every first Sunday in church. Truly, I can tell without been told by a sorcerer she was joyous.
‘No wonder you were so happy running my errands for me at no cost. She giggled and stopped. As if that was the real me, I supported.

I was really pampered all through . Mum can be strict, but she is such a caring mother any child will crave to have. “ So young man, you’re now going to the university ehn ? “ Yes mum I just  can’t wait to be there ” “But I want you to give your heart to my words for they are all right for you ” “Ok mum. You have my ears, I replied ” “ You see,  university is not like a secondary school.
