A BOOK TO YOUR SITUATION

"This one you are smiling at, did you win an award?", my dad asked.

"Good afternoon dad", I said, prostrating to greet him.

"Afternoon, I have been noticing you from outside the shop, your look shows that you are super excited, what is happening?", he asked

Can't Nigerian parents just stop this? I am excited because I have a reason to be happy. Should I just tell him

'Dad, I have a crush on one of my best friends, my other bestie told her that I have a crush on her, now I feel happy because she reacted reasonably to the news', I thought

" Dad, I am 16 years old and I have a lot of things to be happy about. For example, I will be graduating very soon, I have good friends that are looking after me", I said hoping it would just end.

He nodded and set to leave, I heaved a sigh of relief and closed my eyes.

"I just hope it is not about one of your friends, remind me of her name? '' he asked and my face flushed with shyness at the fact that he was almost getting me.
