I was in the car with my uncle whose last child is older than me with more than 5years but in spite of how old my uncle is compared to my age, we can still talk and laugh. You know that uncomfortable silence when you're with an elderly person it doesn't happen when am with him.
So he was driving me to my soon to be apartment and my side of the window was down so you could see me properly if you look in just then an elderly woman gave me a hateful look and mouthed the words 'tufia' which means God forbid i immediately wound up the window 'cos she looked like she was thinking of spitting on me and dragging me out through the window. In her mind, i was some husband snatcher hanging out with a man older than my dad.
It was around 4pm when this happened and I was wearing a gown which was decent but here's what I think that made her react that way... I was talking and laughing with him which for some reason she feels is not OK and normal, next was the car had a Government house plate number so she thought i was hanging out with a rich politician and finally I think she has seen cars like that come and pick and drop girls lol. Mind you i don't even live there, we were just taking that route to my apartment which was still far from there. Maybe her daughters marriage to a politician was in shambles 'cos of young girls flirting with her son in law, I don't know but here's what i know...
At a point in our lives , we have come to the wrong conclusion over matters that we didn't even bother asking questions about, just by mere looking, we jump into the wrongest of conclusions. Things would be more better if we are not so quick to jump into conclusions, don't you think?
