“Kolade, come and flush the toilet” I
was so shocked to hear this statement from my uncle. I mean, he walked
out of the toilet after using it and asked his son to come flush the
toilet for him! I’ve always known that my uncle is lazy when it comes to
house chores (even the basic ones) – no thanks to my Grandmother – but
hearing him call on someone to come flush was a bit too much.
My uncles are like kings with the way my
grandmother treats them. There is this preferential treatment she gives
them over her female children. Till now, my grandmother serves &
packs plates once any of my uncles is done eating while visiting her.
They can do no wrong in her eyes. Simply because they are men!
