When I asked my mom this question she laughed, and I wondered why? She said she could remember when I was little, I used to watch her makeup and ask her to put on my face and she would apply lipstick on me. And that I was a tradition person always wanting us to travel to our village so i can see how they live there, it was such a different atmosphere from the city lifestyle.
I love poems she said and that i like to write. Even when it has no meaning or it means something she said i would just take a piece of paper and ink pen and just write and draw, and do all sorts of nonesence on papers. She said I used to play all over the house running and dodging my older sisters whenever they try to catch me to sit down and eat or take my bath, that the whole house will know it's bath time for me. She said because of my toys such as train, barbie dolls, hand game{king kong} and my pink hand bag that follows me to church, and everywhere I go, and my walkie talkie that talks to me, and that there was this kids laptop that shows graphics of animals and objects that no one could seperate me and these things, that i hardly want to eat, but snack on cookies and candies. This I could remeber though, I and my immediate sister and her friends used to play hide and seek, and I find them but they cant find me. They come to a point they start screaming Ibi, Ibi, come out we cant find you, and we no longer doing this game, i guess I was just smarter than they are. Laughs! I also remember I used to play outside the compound with sand. I will go and fetch water with a bowl, and pour into the sand and satrt molding a house with my foot inside the sand, i'll mould the sahpe of the house around my foot and remove my foot and there you go a house is built. Then with my hands i'll mold gates find sticks and insert into the ground like it's a fence and i'll plug flowers from my moms garden and put to beautify the sand home i just built and my little friends too are doing the same, then after we've finished we look at one another's house and determine whose house is the finest and most times it was mine.
My mother said I was unique in a way that i can read people's mind what they are saying just by paying attention to them talk. She said that we had a visitor one day and they where speaking another language and the mother asked her daughter to go bring her pen in her bag in the living room and she didn't mention bag for me to have had a clue what she sent her daughter, and i just stood up and I went staright to the living room and I brought her bag and she was so surprised, cause there was no way i would have known becuase of the language she had spoken. And above all, my mom said I was the only one that when she wanted to deliever me at the hospital, after she was having a hard time delievering me, she said she prayed to God that this baby I must and will have, maybe another one I wont have but this one I shall have her, and that three angels appeared and not long she was able to deliever me, so she thinks am unique and special, because of that.
