"Can you hurry please?" I halt turning to look at Mommy running around frantic.
"Mi and daddy aguh out todeh ennuh," I tell her and she stops running her hand across her forehead.
She turns to face me sweating heavily. "Shit you know I forgot."
"Is Jamari coming too?" I nod my head at her question, pulling down Jalana's blouse.
She's been up since 6 this morning wiping down the walls and fixing up the house to perfection because her friend Trizan is coming to stay 2 days.
Stepping back she stares at the centrepiece on the coffee table in the living room. She walks towards it and alters it for the 5th time.
I rest my hands on her shoulder and pull her back towards me. "It looks great Mommy."
Her head whips in my direction. "You think so?" I place a kiss on her cheeks reassuring her. "The entire house looks good. It looked that way before you never affi guh suh all out." I laugh leaving her in the room to get ready.
Dad made it known last week that he wanted us to go out this Sunday for a manly day.
Just the men in the house; says he wants to see where my headspace is.
I knock my knuckles against Jari's bedroom door. "Come."
Wrapped up she's laid in her bed, eyes trained on her television. "Mommy seh yuh fi get up and get ready. She wants us to meet this Trizan woman weh aguh deh here for 2 days." I tell her earning a groan in return.
"Ask daddy if mi caah come with unuh?" I scoff taking a seat on her bed.
"No yaah man?" I flick her nose.
Sniffing she pushes back at me rolling out from under the sheets, landing softly on the carpeted floor.
"Be on your best behaviour because you know mommy hardly has friends apart from aunties." Jari points and I chuckle toying around with the remote.
