I remember on that Christmas season my father bought a black and White television to the house, me and my siblings jubilate so much, I was rolling on the ground because the excitement was taking all over of me, that was the first time in my life that I saw a television, it was from that time, i begin to feel like two people, although I have had similar experiences nowadays, where i see myself as ten people, believe me life is good with a large amount of joy.
So it was on that day, that I asked my mother where did the people we saw on the television came from, if they are living on this planet earth? inside me, I was so confused, because I thought of, when did those people came and enter our house, up to the extent of them going inside our television and me and my siblings didn't see them.
My mom at first refused to respond to me, and I was feeling so bad about it, my siblings from there picked a name for me, I hear my brother telling me that from that day henceforth, he would be calling me "the people in the television" then my mom informed me that, those people I watch in the television act drama and what I am seeing is just a drama that they have acted a long time ago.
Even with her explantation, I didn't still understanding what she said to me, but I pretend like I did and I have to quietly continue watching the NTA drama with my siblings.
I thought it was going to be only me that fumble In the house, with our new life that we were not getting used to, but my brother also do something funny which my siblings still laughed at him till today too, he went to the socket where the new television was plugged and wanted to clean it with wet rag.
He thought he was doing something nice, hence he didn't know that touching a socket with wet rag is as dangerous as putting your hand in a lion's mouth, luckily for him and the entire family, my mom saw what he wanted to used in cleaning the socket and she told him, he should not used a wet rag to clean a socket.
My brother thought my mom that was going to him wanted to clapped at him for maintaining cleanliness in the house, but he was doing a good thing with a bad style, he didn't know mom had saw how stupid he was, and she went to correct the mistakes out of his head, because he should have put the whole family on fire with his non idea of electricity.
I love my Dad for one thing and which is how he used to package that black and white television in his room, because after we have finished using it, he would have to put it back into the cartoon, he never allowed anyone to go close to it, he used to values the television more than anything else in the house, and I wonder what was really inside of it that was so previous.
The day my younger brother do his child play close to the television was the first day I saw my Dad annoyance, he was not just angry, but I saw the way he raised his voice up and down, like the television was more precious than us his children's.
The funniest scenario was that, one day my Dad come back with a polythene back, we run to him, thinking he bought a gift for us, but it was an antenna for the black and white television, we realized that my Dad was beginning to love us less than this black and white television, because when once he went out, coming back he would buy something for his television and not like before he used to buy us gifts.
My siblings and I begin to see that the television was taking the love of children's from our Dad, so it was not a funny matter anymore, we planned how to get rid of the television but we never succeed because, our hands was not able to penetrate a bit damaged on the television, if we knocked the screen, our children hand's would just bounced back, and you see that black and white television, it had a very strong screen, we even get pains from trying to break it while the television was laughing at us.
