Babies

People keep handing me their babies to hold while they go and pee. Aside from the hazard of baby puke I don’t mind, but I was intrigued by the level of trust these ladies were bestowing on me. One lady explained that the reason they are choosing me for this responsible task is that in Ibadan, one lady gave her baby to another, went to ease herself, but when she returned the baby had been snatched, the woman no-where to be seen. I told my new teacher that maybe I wanted to have a Braaaaawwwn Bayby, and would run away myself. She laughed her socks off.
