Sharing is the spirit in our family. Everyone born in or who joins this humble family has to learn to share whatever little she or he has with others. This is a discipline passed down from our dear Maa.
Last night, Krys (my 4yr old niece) having learnt the importance of this virtue, saw it wise to share with me a tablet she picked from her mum’s table. She divided it into two and gave me the smaller piece. I, believing it was the tictac sweet tablet, took my portion with gratitude and encouraged her to continue with the same spirit.
I know you’re wondering why am telling you this. No, am not promoting any product either.
The bitter bile taste when my tongue came into contact with it set me to act fast. The supposed tictac sweet turned out to be hedex tablet (pain killer) Krys’ mum left on the table as she went to the kitchen to get some water.
No one would have known what was happening till very late hadn’t she shared the tablet.
It’s therefore advisable for parents, guardians or caretakers to instill discipline that would make it easy for them to protect and keep safe their children.
Till next time
