I'm bored and want to post something but cannot think of a thing to write about...
In light of that i want to say:
I'm tired...
I'm bored, even though i'm at work...
I'm hungry; skipped lunch and the nearest chinese place takes cash only, i have no cash on me...
I need a proper vacation real bad
I want to relocate to naija
I want a man that would be at my beck and call
Oh sorry, just remembered something i could have written about instead of this nonsense i'm joting...
So i kinda, sorta work with kids rite?(Yeah me sef i don't know) I've noticed something about parents, and maybe i would not understand rite now because i have no kids. Anyway, I've noticed that parents find it hard to acccept that there is something wrong with their kids or their kids need some sorta of special help. (ain't that why they bring them here in the first place? Early Intervention abi it's detection)Yeah, only in Yankee abi? In niaja we say just beat some discipline into the children and the child with straighten up. But it's just not with behavior oh, even though some of those behaviors are off-the chain...
Anyway, recently i over heard a conversation from a co-worker about a child she feels may be dyslexic but i think the parents no wan gree. The child apparently sees things upside down even though she appears to understand the concepts. She mixes up a lot of things even her colors yet her parents insist she just needs one or one attention.
There are many more cases. I remember one mother being told that maybe she should get the child's ears tested because he may not be hearing properly. Na fight the woman dey fight o, say nothing do im child ear say the child just no wan answer...
Ok, i can't think of another now, but i've seen quite a bit like the crazy one i posted about one time. Now i understand all those stages of development stuff to a "T" but these kids truly need help. It's not normal, as sad as it is to say some of them need to seek counseling. I learn something new everyday and i'm quick to compare to niaja sha. Like i remember growing up and don't think i remember them labeling kids with different "big words" labels in any of my primary/secondary years. Now Provisions are made for kids according to what their IEP's says they need
Is this a generational difference? Or truly we africans tend to beat the nonsense out of our children early enough. (Then again i was not beaten as a child, well, expect in boarding school and i think i turned out ok)
Wow... so much for having nothing to say abeg hunger is nacking me i dey go find chops for real...

I've been meaning to post but i've truly been lazy. I actually have a post to put up but it's not complete yet. Maybe later today or tomorrow. In the mean time:
Just witnessed a demon possesed child. Yes, this child is possessed, am sorry to say it and i hate to say it but there is no explanation for such behavior. It's a pity i can't put up a clip of the behavior. She's only 5 years old, in kindergarten, and on a normal day very sweet. Today, i had to go observe her and in my mind i had to be praying for her. Interesting enough, the moment i recognized that her situation had to be spiritual and i started to pray (abeg, all this i was doing in my mind while observing ohhh) she turned to me and started to scream "get out," "get out before i kill you" to the point where she started to kick and push m, this yankee no pay for real... if na niaja, i for don beat dem spirits out of her body for real with my fists and with prayer.
On another note:
naija's are a mess for real (in a good way o) was at a party this weekend and once the "elere" (musician) started to sing "Yahoozee" everyone lost it. Even some older folks. Fingers rolling around the place. Even i found myself doing it... sad huh?
ok, i should try to put up the post i've been trying to for a minute today or tomorrow...
Enjoy

Delirious
Started coming down with a cold/flu/something sha so i was out of the world tired yesterday after getting back from work and it didn't help that someone did not show up and i had to help out even though i have this nonsense forms on my desk i have to complete for too many people during tax season which is around now. (note to self, you have to pick up on those now before those annoying pple start calling for their statements)
So i'm supposed to pick up a friend coming back from naija from the airport today. After taking some medicine to help with this virus i was totally out and enjoying my sleep when my friend called me to remind me not to forget to come pick her up.
Woke up at about 4:30a.m, jumped out of my bed, freaked out that i was late picking her up, as she had asked me to get to the airport for 10p.m.;already imagining her being pissed of as hell because she had to take a cab. Picked up my phone and thought about calling her house but i figured she would probably be asleep. Actually took my pj bottoms off thinking about if i should just go to the airport like that or not.
Thank the good Lord i had to go to the bathroom because while waiting for the urine to finish coming out i took a moment to think about what day it was. I still had my phone in hand so i looked at the time she called me and realized if she was coming in for 10p.m., then she could not have called me at 1:00a.m. to remind me to be at the airport.
That's when i realized it was still only Thursday.... the hiss that followed, even i didn't know i had it in me like that...pskskpskspskskpspkspskspsksppskskpksssss
