Any questions?

Hi readlanders. How is your day going. Yesterday I was regrettably unable to post on the platform due to network issues. It was do frustrating that I couldn't have access to any of my social media accounts. I coul not even read for comment on other people's articles. It is still bad this morning but not as bad as it was yesterday. Hopefully I can accomplish somethings today.

Yesterday was a very stressful day as we had to complete our home chores and network also came in to spoil the rest of the day.

Mondays in eastern Nigeria has turned out to be a part of our weekends. This is due to the Monday lockdowns imposed on us by insurgent groups. Stepping out on Mondays is wishing for whatever misfortunes that may be brought your way.

Yesterday was a Monday and so we had to spend it at home. My little cousin visited on Sunday and had to spend Monday with us. She is still in elementary school, so she was all vibes.

We all say together telling stories of unforgettable evtebts during our elementary school days. I was a way of trying to cheer her up. She felt she was of less importance because she was the only one in getting house who was little and still in primary school. We had to sit round and cheer her up with our stories.

After we were done telling her our happy experiences, she got motivated and decided to tell us of her experience with her History teacher. It was a funny one and I can't help but share it.

According to her, their class History teacher was a Mrs Know-all. She claimed to know many languages and so would throw in foreign words when teaching them. She was a boastful teacher and she also claimed to know French, a subject the students found hard to learn.

One day, Mrs Know-all entered the class after their French class and boasted again of her French knowledge. So after that class, she said to them, "Any question?" So my cousin and some of her classmates decided to test the history teacher's knowledge of French. They asked her the meaning of 'au revoir'. She replied by telling them that it means 'thank you'. The students began to laugh after my cousin corrected the teacher that 'au revoir' means 'goodbye'. The teacher started to argue with them and soon called the French teacher to clear the air. The French teacher came and told them that 'Au Revoir' means goodbye.

Ever since then, the History teacher stopped boasting to then of her knowledge of many languages.

We laughed so hard after hearing my cousin tell her story. She was lucky enough that the History teacher did not punish her but instead accepted her misinterpretation. Some teacher would just enforce the knowledge that 'Au Revoir' means goodbye instead of accepting corrections.

We told other stories to my cousin and we were finally able to completely cheer her up. She taught us never to ignore her no matter how busy or stressed we were. We made her fell unwanted and unimportant through our actions. Though we did not do it deliberately, we still hurt her feelings. Thanks God she spoke up and we were able to clear her self doubts.

Thanks for reading 💖
