My Life

Chapter One

Chapter one

My name is Ire, and am the only daughter of my parent, who most people call Baba Ayo or Iya Ayo (meaning Ayo's Dad and Ayo's mum) but they are Mr and Mrs Douglas, I have two brothers, one older and one younger, my elder brother’s name is Ayo and my younger brother Ola. Am from Oyo state and Our family can be termed as averagely ok; we didn’t lack for things but we didn’t have in excess either. Have heard my dad say over and over again that I am too stubborn and he promised to tell whoever I marry just how stubborn I am, granted I am indeed stubborn but am also very smart though while interacting with me you may not catch on quickly just how smart I am but you’ll notice eventually after a while, I know am intelligent but I do get average marks in class because I would rather read a novel than my academics book and I love watching movies, I was an introvert but was also a tom boy in a way, I said in a way because while I do dress like boys I didn’t cut my hair intentionally, I loved my hair so much, it was long and natural, not tainted or spoilt by relaxers but I was forced to cut it because of school, in my school girls cut their hair. Growing up was fun, my Dad was a character on his own, he could bring down a building with his shouting, he was a tall, dark and slim man, cute in his own way, I heard he was a lady’s man in his own time, I guess because of his looks and his sweet voice. My mum on the other hand is quite gentle, can accommodate a lot of things, Dad and Mum can be in the room together and you’ll hear dad shouting but won’t hear pim!! from mum, I and my brother always wonder how she could have married such a man but like they say love can be blind or in this case love makes you do crazy things because despite all this, their love for each other was evident. You may think you can come in between this two and you try talking bad about one to the other and you’ll literary get a slap on your face for that, they have been together through thick and thin and their bond is still strong but I don’t know how they do this cause I thought once you get married you just live happily ever after of course it didn’t help that I was addicted when it comes to novels and romance movies, I mean have watched Cinderella movies over ten times so don’t blame me for thinking this way.

Am usually quiet and shy in school but if you happen to be a close pal, then sorry!! i can blast your head off with my talks and stories, I give vivid descriptions when am narrating my stories, some of my friends say am crazy and not normal but hey!

that’s just me.
