Mummy no! daddy no!!!!!!

We have the Harrisons going to Banana island in Lagos from the Murtala Mohammed airport in Ikeja, Lagos. They left the USA for Nigeria after Ikechukwu, Nancy's husband death for Tyrone to know his roots as per her late husband's wish.

Nancy is an American while her husband was a Igbo guy.

"Mum, like remind me why we came to Nigeria again." He asked for the umpteenth time angry about the weather. The sun was high up when they got down from the plane and he hasn't stopped complaining since then.

His mom who wasn't tired of teasing him replied in a singsong voice,"your father's wish,"and clucked her tongue at him.

"Oh yes, that,"he sighed. Apparently before his father died, he was planning to bring them all to Nigeria for him to to know his roots and to supervise the headquarters of his company and he updated his lawyer on his wish before he died and also told his mom.

Nigeria has been annoying to him since he stepped down from the plane, first the hot weather and now that he was safely under the car air conditioner, the bad road. He just hope he won't come to regret his stay in Nigeria.

"Tyrone, what's taking you so long," Nancy screamed as she sat in the back of the limousine while the driver warms the engine.

"I'm coming mom,"he shouted right back.

After some minutes and he wasn't down yet, Nancy resorted to threatening tactics. "I would have you know that if you aren't down here in a minute, this car would set off without you."

At that moment, Tyrone came down. He looked disheveled holding his shoes with the socks in it. He was wearing an unbuttoned shirt, his hair wasn't even styled yet and still wet as he opened the backseat door to join his mom."I'm here now."

Nancy stifled a grin, typical Tyrone always late. She faked a look of surprise,"young boy, I thought you set your alarm to five o'clock."

He rolled his eyes before answering. His mom knows he never wakes up five o'clock but enjoy tormenting him by asking,"first of all I would have you know I'm a young man not boy,"she snorted at that."secondly, my clock has stopped working,"he said proud of his lie. He always gave different reasons for his lateness, she never believes them but she choose not to question them.

"Tyrone, we're almost at your school, button your top fast and wear your shoes."as he did that, she brought a comb out of her bag and started combing his hair but Tyrone shakes his head making some water from his wet hair spill on her.

Immediately Tyrone pleaded,"oh, I'm sorry mum,"and since he was already through with his dressing dragged the comb from her and got down. Only when he closed the door did he look back,"bye mom, love you,"and he blew a kiss her way before entering the school.

Nancy smiled at him before telling the driver to go on.
