Dabota's carelessness, Tutu's Stubborness...

Since after I read about how a young boy got saved from an earthquake in Japan because he stubbornly went on a bicycle ride that took him several kilometers away from his city, the idea of writing a story linked to that has been on mind, but I eventually forgot about doing that until I read a short story from a friend's fiance (Uche Anne) that finally inspired me to write this:

Random Musings........

As Dabota parked the car, and stepped out of it to cursorily grab a few items from the supermarket around the corner, she sternly warned her 5year old son, Tutu, not to get out of the car until she gets back.....promising to beat him if he dares step out....

.....almost immediately as his mum walked right through the entrance of the supermarket, Tutu who has gained 'notoriety' for his rebellious tendencies even as a child, also stepped out of the car first ambling around the vicinity and later wandering from the car.....

.....Dabota collapsed just as she was stepping out of the supermarket door and saw a tipper crashing into her car - crushing the locomotive metal and shattering its glasses....

.....Dabota and onlookers screamed for joy when the tad came jumping up & down with arms thrown out in the air....

....seems like Dabota had forgotten her promise to beat Tutu!

There was going to be celebrations....there was going to be a BIG testimony in church with a lot of wining and dining to follow later on at the home of Dabota & Family....

....all for what?

.....Tutu's stubbornness? Hmmm......this life sef!
