Alicia ran towards Mama Gloria in widespread arms. She wore an excited face beaming in happiness, laughter, and curiosity.

She had waited in front of the verandah since her dad dropped her. She refused to go into the house unless she sees her ever-loving adorable granny. Bukunmi the housemaid had implored her to come inside the house and have a drink but she refused.

She had learned to be hospitable to visitors after mama scolded her harshly and denied her of a month's salary. This was because she 'ill-treated' some elders who came visiting from the village. She didn't serve kola nut neither did she serve gin. The elders remarked badly after they returned.

Mama heard about that and according to her principles, she had her way of getting back at every bullshit.

Alicia brought out her 'Common Entrance Solution' textbooks and started to revise it to while away time.

"Auntie Bukunmi, where do Eskimos live?" She asked inquisitively to a Bukunmi who paid little attention.

"I have no idea, maybe a cottage or something."

Alicia burst into laughter.

"I don't think that's funny, don't Eskimos live in cottages?"
