Vivian: Even if you are useless,you are still my brother (handed three slices of bread to me) take mumu.

Donald: (collected the bread from her) thank you.

Teresa: In return for the bread we gave you,you have to wash all our clothes.

Vivian: yes! including our underwears.

Donald: (Swallowed my spit) okay

Mum: Useless child! nothing good can come out of you.

Vivian: mumsi leave this useless boy alone.All he ever wants to do is to go to the university.Don’t go and join your money father in his agbero business.

Teresa: (laughs) nah trailer go kill you for us.

Donald: (in my mind) i will not die but leave to declare the glory of God in the land of the living.

I managed to sleep despite the loud music my sisters were playing.A thunderous slap flew me out of the mat i was sleeping on.

Mum: Get up jor! useless child.

Donald: Go-good morning ma

Mum: Tell that to your ancestors.Today nah sunday and i get customers wey wan give me money so get out of the house and don’t come back until evening.Shey you hear me!

Donald: ye-ye-yes ma

I quickly had my bath without my mothers knowledge.I wore my dress and got out of the house,today was sunday so i decided to buy some snacks and sell it in a church after service to make some money.I went to a big redeem church two streets away from my street.I waited until service was over.Lot of people came to buy my snacks,i was glad but then she came.

Joy: how much is this potatoe chips?

Donald: (mesmerized by her) it’s N50

Joy: Let me have one
I quickly gave her one.She opened it and tasted it.

Joy: uhmmm this chips tastes great! Do you come here often ?

Donald: No i don’t

Joy: (showed a sad face) and i really like this chips

Donald: i can be coming every sundsy.

Joy: that’s great,let me have two more chips.

I handed it over to her.She gave me N200 and i gave her N50 change.

Joy: (smiles) No! keep the change.

Donald: no it’s your change.

Joy: i insist

Donald: (smiled at her) thanks

Joy: you are welcome.My name is joy! what’s your name?

Donald: I’m donald

Joy: what a nice name.I guess you are quite young like me but why aren’t you in church? why are you hawking?

Donald: Joy it’s a long story

Joy: can i be your friend?

Donald: ofcourse you can.

Joy: i don’t stay at ajegunle,i stay at V.I but my father is the pastor of this church.

Donald: that’s nice well,i stay here at ajegunle.

“Joy! Joy! lets go home” her mum yelled

Joy: oops! i’ve got to go now.I’ll see you next Sunday

Donald: okay bye.

I was happy but i don’t know why but judging by it,joy is a very pleasant girl.She is fair,tall with brown eyes,pink lips and beautiful face.She also has dimples and her curves are appropriate.A perfect girl she is.I said to myself as i checked my wrist watch,it was just 1:15pm and i can’t return home until in the evening so i decided to go and hustle a little bit.I went to peoples house requesting to wash their clothes at very small amounts and the agreed.I did my best with their clothes and most of them gave me a permanent contract to be washing their clothes.Before i knew it,it was already 6pm and it occurred to me that i haven’t washed my sisters clothes. ”I’m so dead” i quickly ran home but luck wasn’t on my side.I met my sisters at home.

Vivian: (sighted me) very good! where are my clothes?

Donald: (Stammering) uhmm-humm-emmm

Teresa: (slaps me) you are very useless oo do you know!

Donald: no

Vivian: (hits her slippers on my head) you are mad!

Mum: (walks in) wetin dey happen for here?

Teresa: mumsi it’s this mad boy oo.Can you imagine that he didn’t wash our clothes?

Mum: (Shouts) Ewoo! (removes her wig and held my clothes) so you think say you fit useless my bags of rice for me abi? your sisters bring in cash but you are very useless to me just like your father.If not for that doctor wey tell me say if i abort you i go die.I go don abory you tey tey.But before you use your own spoil my show,i go teach you a lesson you will never forget. (called my sisters to help her into stripping me naked)

Donald: (bite their hands) i’ll leave this house for all of you

Mum: that’s better and if you no say you no wan die,no come back into this house.

Donald: (in tears) i would only come back to show you my success.

Vivian: it’s your dead body they would bring back for us.Useless child.

I had no choice than to leave the house.I know i had no where to go but what else can i do? i brought out all the money i had and counted it.It was now N10,000.
