I would have given you one kind of punishment that you would never forget in your life

Young girl watch your tongue and change your ways if not the world would show you it's eyes...
Then you would realize it's necessary for you to be wise before it's too late don't bite more than your small mouth which you think is big can chew

(With that she vanishes into thin air )
Folasade: (Feeling frightened)
Ahhhhhhhhh

(Mr.Ogunleye,a man in his late fifties wearing recommend glasses is seen seating with a Vanguard news paper in his hands and a golden glass cup of orange juice on a mini table beside him in a luxurious looking parlour.)
Mr.Ogunleye: (Lamenting to himself about the increase of fuel)

Please don't hide anything from me tell me what went wrong??
Folasade:Dad.... it's nothing serious

She's so dirty
I'm meant to sanitize my dreams
Like gosh!!
Daddy,you really need to see her oo
She's-(plans to continue but get cut off by her father)

Gbe gbogbo enu e siowun(shut up)(he shouts making her quiver in fear cause she may be grown up
She may be rude
But the fear she had for her father would never die and she knew it)
What is wrong with you??
Why don't you have regards for anything and everything??
Do you think you're some sort of goddess or something??
You can't do anything a woman can do yet all you ever do is to hurl insults at everybody
(Sees the look on her face then raises up his voice )
No na...tell me
Can you cook??
You know the answer
Can you sweep??
You know the answer
Can you clean??
You know the answer
Can you wash??
You know the answer
Yet you're so rude
And always underestimating people
Later you'd start complaining that you're having such a dream
Why won't you??
When you lack respect on every angle
They even warned you in your dreams but still it's turning on deaf hears
Kiniproblem ee??(what is your problem)
Better change this your useless attitude
Folasade: (Already in tears )
I...i can't take this anymore (she said running out of the paluor to her room)
Mr.Ogunleye: You can't take what ?
Better don't kill yourself
If you like lock yourself up in your room and cry all day long it's not my business
Rubbish (hisses)
