BE CREATIVE!!!!!
I sat at my computer, bored to death of the straight line life i had lived from Monday to Friday.
Yes, it was Saturday. A day i ought to enjoy the weekend but no thanks to the economy of the country I find myself in, i had to stay indoors.
Well, I wasn't alone; I was with my ten years old brother and he had been whining, telling me he wanted to do something fun.
Like butter topping on bread, to add to our boredom was the scorching sun that shone at its fullest and the heat that descended the atmosphere like a diabolic breath from hell, I decided to play him a video on my computer and guess what happened.
The battery ran out. And there was power outage.
"Now?!" I thought I would scream but I didn't even have such energy to let out steam.
Then i decided to sleep.
I told my brother to join me for that was the only thing that could keep us company but he was wide awake like an owl in the night; only that it wasn't night, it was two in the afternoon.
I held his shoulders and looked him in the eye "Okay baby brother, we are bored and we need to do something fun or else we'll grow old before we know it" i told him squarely. It was a state of emergency.
He shrugged and walked out of the room only to come back few minutes later with crayons and white sheets of paper.
"Baby drawing?" I raised a brow. "I am an adult!" I told him but he ignored me and went to work.
Pissed, I went to sleep. Forceful sleep.
After few hours, I awoke to the sound of a honking truck that drove by our house and to my shock, everywhere was a mess.
The floor, the bed - all messed up.
"MUIIIIIIIIZZZZZZ" I screamed his name in slow motion and he came running. I made to scold him but he had a wide smile on his face and before i could say anything, he took my hand and dragged me to my computer.
Oh.! I had just woken up that i didn't realize that there was now electricity in the house.
he switched it on and we waited for it to boot.
I was still pissed but anticipation grew in my chest, what was it that he wanted to show me anyway...
He went to "PAINT' application and opened some documents.
"See what I did while you were busy sleeping" he said and to my amazement, the anger that was piling up in my chest vanished.
My eyes fluttered in a quick butterfly-wings-flutter and my mouth fell agape.
"You did this?" I looked at him and he nodded. My eyes squinted in disbelief "How long did it take you to do this?"
He held up his fingers to show me the number ten. "Ten minutes or less" he said with a grin on his face.
"Do it again!" I told him and he settled at the computer to do what he did... again.
My mouth was opened the whole time. He did something even better.
He created his own fun and made it into something beautiful and i was just there sleeping?
I couldn't contain the beauty alone so...
I decided to share.
He named those ones above "Galaxy1, 2, 3"
He named these ones EARTH IN SKY
AND this one, he named it TREE OF EARTH
what is his obsession with earth anyway...
AND THIS ONE :) he named it: TALKING IN THE SKY IN EARTH
And FINALLY!!!!!
I want you to meet him...
I introduce to you the only person that can annoy you and give you a good reason why he has the right to and you will reason with it and accept...
The boy that told himself happy father's day on children's day...
MUIZ OKUNOLA!!!!!
