Sometimes, I forget
things quickly, no matter how important. I forget, just like that. One day, I went
to turn my changeover switch after putting off my generator. After a short while, I forgot
whether or not I've turned the switch. So I went out to check only to find out that have
done that already. As usual I started this conversation with my changeover
switch:
Switch: O boy, you
don dey old oh! (Man, you are getting old!)
Me: What?
Switch: Nor be na na
you change me. (You came here a while ago to make the change.)
Me: So?
Switch: kwekeee! (No equivalent in Queen’s English. It’s
an exclamatory expression.)
Me: Shut up! Take
your time oh! (Be careful!) Otherwise, I’ll scatter scatter you. (I’ll destroy
you.)
Switch: Me, I’m not
worried oh, I know you will soon forget what I said.
