The family is at the dining table. The little 10-year-old girl does not eat and has her nose in her plate….
After a few moments, she says, “I’ve something to tell you people.”
Silence around the table.
“I’m no longer virgin”, and she begins to cry. A long silence again.
And then… the father, angry and screams at his wife, “It’s your fault! Always dressed and made up like a prostitute! Do you think you set a good example for your daughter?
You see now? That’s how problems begin”
The wife, in turn yells at her husband. "What about you ? Are YOU setting a good example? Wasting your salary on sluts who sometimes even accompany you to your doorstep! Are YOU setting a good example for your 10-year-old daughter?”
The father continues, “And Akosua, her elder sister, she's good-for-nothing. With her rasta man of a
boyfriend, who is always found with her in all the hotels. Do you believe she is setting good examples for her younger sister?”
And the recriminations go on, and on, and on….
The grandmother touches the shoulder of the little grand daughter to console her and asks her :
“Well, my little girl, how did it happen?”
And the little girl replies while stifling her sobs.
“It’s the Children's Service teacher."
The grandmother, shocked and angry, asks :
“What do you mean, which of them? I will get him killed!”
“Bro Kofi. He has chosen another girl to be Virgin Mary in the
Christmas play…I'll no longer play the role of
Virgin Mary”?????????
