I got corrected..lol

The other day I flagged a tryke and told the driver I was going to Bethel, one of the popular hotels in the city. I always make sure my "E's" and "th" are properly enunciated when I say "Bethel." But the driver corrected me. When I said "Bethel," he instantly corrected me when he said matter-of-factly--Bitil. Oh.

one funny story

A friend one day narrated a delightful story which happened when she was a little girl. According to this friend of mine, they were so poor that her parents could only afford to buy her one panty. Because of this there were days when she would go around or go to school not wearing one when it was wash day. She would alternately wear the panty and go around without it--every other day. Her classmates in Grade 1 seemed to know about this so one day they played a trick on her which made her jump and fall to the ground. This was her no-panty day so you can just imagine the laughter her falling caused.
