TALK TO THE EASIER CREW: FORGIVENESS

I have never laughed so hard reading my own blog before. No, it wasn't because of anything I wrote, it was simply in reaction to the incredible comments you guys left to the 'Of Mice and My Man' post. Kai! una make me laugh sotey I tayah! (I laughed so hard, I got tired). Thanks so much my people, for all the suggestions. I gently encouraged Husband to put poison in some Indomie Noodles for the mouse (or mice as some of you have scared me into thinking, lol). He thought about it for a moment and said, he wasn't convinced that using the poison would not harm the kids. So, I am back to waiting till June to call terminix. But, my momsie (a proper Lagos woman who grew up on Pike Street in Lagos Island) is coming in a few months. If I dare tell her that vermin have been eating her grandchildren's Indomie Noodles, she will arrive in this country armed with a battalion of Nigerian products to carry out Operation Mouse Eradication! lol! Anyway, thanks so much guys! Now, on to the reason we are gathered here today...

Well, Waffarian posed a question for this week's installment of 'Talk to the Easier Crew'. She asked,

I feel let down (you can use the word "mad", I am mad at her, so they get the gist)by a friend of mine.

Should I tell her how I feel or not?

It was hard getting a proper response from the kids on this one. There could be several reasons for this, one of which is the fact that next Saturday is TE's birthday party and she has been having a diva moment (well, a few), That is making it hard for her to focus on anything other than party preparations and all the gifts she hopes to get. TK was also busy being naughty, so he had very little interest in participating in this conversation either. So, I think that the rest of us - the grown ups - will have to help Waffy with this issue. lol! Nevertheless, here is what the Easier kids thought...

PERSONALLY...
I honestly think how one deals with this issue depends on certain factors. For instance, I would suggest that one ask themself the following. How close are you as friends? Can you live with what they have done? Will telling said friend affect your relationship? And if it does, do you care?

If the two of you are very good friends and you cannot ignore what they have done, then I suggest waiting until you are no longer too upset and finding a non-confrontational way to express your hurt/disappointment. But, that's just me. I hope that yourself and your friend find an amicable way to handle the situation (whatever it may be). Good luck Waffy!

So, what do you guys think?

PS: Have you heard the interview of Patrick Obahiagbon that I have on my Nigerian Curiosity blog? Have you read the excellent transcript that Waffy provided (in the comments section)? If you haven't you are seriously missing out. That man's English na wa oh! If you try to listen to what he is saying you will think he is from another planet, yet na English e dey speak oh! Hahahaha! Go check it out!

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter, people!
