MOTHER- IN- LAW PHENOMENON

Not another round

It has become a custom to call one’s mother whenever the cry of a new born is heard. The sudden shock of being a newbie mother cannot be handled alone. It was in this light that the Oforis decided to call on board the ever able, ever young, ever super energetic Mama Sabina, Mrs. Ofori’s mum.
Yes, she did her job meticulously. In fact, her work exceeded expectations, but it crossed the invisible line. Hmmm…

Mama Sabina became a dictator and tyrant. Consequently, her daughter and her husband found the simply mundane task of going to their own home an ordeal like passing through the fires of hell. I exaggerate to make a point!

Putting ice cubes on your burnt fingers always feels so relieving, it ameliorates the pain. The relief that the Oforis had when Mama Sabina went beyond the veil can be compared  to having ice cubes on one’s burnt fingers. Lol, exaggerating to make a point.

Perhaps the last and final decision the Oforis had to make was that concerning where they would have to bury dear Mother- in- law. Burying her in Israel where they lived as foreigners was going to be just a cool $500 while burying her in their home country was going to be $5000. Mr. Ofori was the one releasing the funds, hence, he had the onus of making the final choice. Everyone thought that he was going to go in for the $500 bill but he didn’t. That was shocking! The big question was ‘’why?’’

To this he said, ‘’you see, Israel has a history of someone rising from the death in three days. Hmmm… it could be possible that my in- law could resurrect. I just don’t want there to be any loop hole. There shall be no other round of torture.’’

Don’t laugh alone, share the joy!
