the snake and the soap
Perfecting the art of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
people are great at resolving problems...no doubt about it ....specially when it comes to other people's problems.....they have this whole strategy worked out on your life , have already analzed every aspect of you in the first five minutes that they have met you and wham...they have a solution...now let me tell you about his time...
well the senario was like this i had fallen off the second floor of a building, i just slipped (lets leave it at that for now...trust me you get the full details later)...anyways i am at home lying on bed the only mvable parts being my neck and left hand(note the point) and then we have these visitors who come to see me....all long lost relatives neighbours everyone as far as I know....that is when it starts......me lying without a blip in the world when this neighbour walk in .She makes some small conversation with my dad and moves to my side and speak very softly.The conversation went something like this...
the neighbour:how are you doing son
me:i am fine aunty........
the neighbour:you shouldnt have done something like this.....
me:things happen aunty.....
the neighbour:if you have any problems you should have talked...
this is where i smell foul but go along.....
the neighbour:if you couldnt talk to you parents you should have at come and talked to me.....i would have helped...
saying this she takes my hand and gives what i think was a reassuring squeeze...thats when it hits me......i go like no no it was nothing like that but no she is struck on that and goes about giving a long monologue on how life is precious and all that..and all i could do was shake my head vigourously cause if i forgot to mention my teeth were wired and she took full advantage of the situation and if i timed it right spoke for an hour.....this was only the begining....
like i said i was hapless in this situation...it was as if they had finally gottena chance to releive themselves of this this wisdom they have been storing up for years....people i didnt know for heavens sake people who were a couple of years older........at first i resisted or rather tried to resist as you can see from y situation that it was hopeless and then i went the other way round and went with this the act.....now the conversation went something like this.....
the neighbour:you shouldnt have done something like this...
me: hmmm.....
the neighbour:look how it effected everyone....
me:hmmm.....
the neighbour:you should talked to us...we were are here for you.....
me:yeah....of course....
and so it went on and forth....later even when i was okay and could speak i didnt see apoint in making it clear cause they had already decided on what had happened and had already put their heads and were having a whale of a time telling me what what they thought about it....they were ok i was receiving this infite source of wisdom...why should i differ eh.....
