GORIMAPA

This post was supposed to be about the fact that Officer Bomboy is now bald, and that his head is HUGE!!!!! But, I just came home from watching 'Wanted' and all I want to do is kick some butt! Okay, no not really. I am not jumping around my house imitating karate chops and kicks. Nor am I pretending to shoot a gun at some assailant.
The movie did remind me of the importance of doing the right thing at the right time and the significance of knowing how to whup some a--. lol! So that being said, I will encourage my neighborhood gym to bring in a Krav Maga expert in the near future as that is an art form I have wanted to learn for a long time. 
Secondly, despite the fact that I am hesitant to interpret the 2nd Amendment to mean that every American or U.S. resident (in good legal standing) should own and possess a gun, I am going to take shooting lessons this winter. Yes, I know, some of you are gasping in absolute shock and horror, but I have always thought that every woman should not only know how to protect herself but should also know how to handle and shoot a gun. In fact, there is a 19th century North African pistol that I have been eyeing since 2006. I almost bought it for myself as a 'push gift' but didn't want a gun, antique or not, in my home. It will be my present to myself for my next birthday.
Oh yeah, did I tell you Bomboy is now 'goris, goris' and that his head is humongous? lol! I love the boy, he is cute and those dimples of his make anything work for him. (He is so lucky). But, I have banned his father from ever 'barbering' my son's hair like that again!! Imagine! I didn't even recognize my son when I saw him immediately after his hair cut. The poor thing. =) Actually, I shouldn't feel sorry for him, this 'goris, goris' hair cut has only emboldened my son to take his Bomboyism to the next level. As in, the guy just slaps people in the face all the time. Even me! He slapped me hard yesterday. Husband and I were lying on the floor. I was dozing off to sleep. He was watching the West Indies cricket team play Australia. Bomboy was running around doing what he does best - scattering the room as much as possible. 
Anyway, next thing there was a loud sound - *GBOSA!* 
The left side of my face was stinging and throbbing.
I opened my eyes to see Husband's startled face which quickly developed into a grin interrupted by serious laughter.
My eyes kept moving and at my head was Bomboy, staring down at me and screaming baby gibberish at me.
All I could do was look at him, take a deep breath, close my eyes and try to get back to dozing. But, Bomboy and my laughing hubby had other plans for me because before I knew it there was another hard slap right smack in the middle of my face.
**GBOSA!**
This time, I come begin dey vex. Not at my son, of course. He is only 1 and I know that when he gets older I will have more than enough opportunity to get my revenge. hahaha.
No, I was pissed at my husband who chose to laugh his butt off before his chivalry gene kicked in and he began to protect me from the blows my son was raining on me. Please, someone tell me, what did I do to deserve that? I was just trying to get a well deserved nap in the middle of the day. I work hard, people, I deserve a nap once in a while!
Well, I have forgiven "Oga Gorimapa". He was probably just mad at me for letting his father mess up his 'fro. But that husband of mine...well, let's just say he is on punishment. And when I get my Krav Maga skills going, nobody in this house will mess with me again. =)
PS: Thanks for your suggestions in the latest Talk To The Easier Crew segment. I personally suggested option (b) with a little bit of (c) on the side. Not sure what i am talking about? Go check it out.... Oh, and by the way, next week's segment is truly interesting as I have no advise for this reader. So , please swing by on Friday to help out. Also, stop by Nigerian Curiosity. The question of the day is about betrayal and it's pretty juicy so go claim your spot. God bless!

Whoo-hoo! Numero Uno! LMAO, @ barbering. Aww, your baby is now afari korodo. I feel your pain. At church today, the baby was sitting down jejely o, and I decided to go and carry him from his mother. Thank God my eyes were closed, cos it went right across the face. See the boy laughing, and me and all my love, I just held onto him, like I was giving him the other cheek.
Of course he used it, lol.

UUUGHHHH NEVER FIRST! Ok I'm going to read now xoxo

Nogo said...

Wow to the gun thing... Wooowww... And LOL to Bomboy! I don't know why he's vexed ooohhh the boy knows he looks good no matter what - Why do you think he always smiles his dimples before he does something naughty? Lol xoxo

Jaycee said...

LOLLLLLLLLL...I'm just trying to imagine officer bomboy with his gorimapa head!!! Lolll...I do not think it is fair, but I still don't believe u deserved a hot slap for that!!!!

Kai, I think bomboy shd be promoted from a mere officer to SERGEANT!!!

About the second amendment, pls if you find a fancy gun to buy...inform me. I think I shd go practicing too...lollllll (j/k). Don't go on a shooting spree now...

Mwah!!!

Tininu said...

i actually cannot stop laughing...i want to be exactly like your husband...actually he reminds me of myself in the future...lol!!

i will recommend a shotgun, have you even tried it...besides the large recoil..it is quite effective and due to it wide dispersal...incase you are not good at aiming, you just have to point in the general direction of the enemy and pull...he should be dead!

actually i can just imgaine you with a sniper rifle, lying on the floor and waiting for the enemy..

question...who exactly do you want to shoot with this gun anyways..?

Tininu said...

i also think this your top commenters list thingy has broken because my number of comments has gone down and i have dropped from 10th to 14th...i dont like this

Tininu said...

one more thing, please rub vaseline or oil on bomboy's head until it is shinning (in the sun) but watch out, you might be quite tempted to start rubbing it or mybe even just give it a gentle slap

Smaragd said...

Rotflmao! he he he he!

i sooo feel u! pele.

u are right, u have more than enough time to pay him back in the future. and pls forgive Husband o! lol

u'll get used to the "pon mi fun barber" hairstyle soon.

lol again!

As for his gorimapa,hahahaha,y did daddy imagine it will suit him?at least he doesnt need a haircut for a longer period now!!!

Standtall said...

"Wanted" that reminded me of the long time Regina Aska movie "wanted". I gat to see this one u r talking about sha.

If I shd lay my hands on a gun, na to be killing any police officer that maltreat someone be that.

Gorimapa has got a new power (lol)

THE EMISSARIES said...

1. You deserved those whacks because you aren't meant to be sleeping in the middle of the day.
2. Terrorism is bound in the heart of child, but the smack of correction will drive it far from him.
3. There seems to be an inescapable link between gorimapaism and show of power. Your son only fell victim to it.
4. Leave your hubby alone jare, you are not Mrs. Smith.

Allied said...

lol.. sorry oh. Those slaps are always like "agbalagba" slaps oh

My nephew also gave me one big one last week. and he smiled...

Minky said...

"Baby gibberish" lol...little kids get away with soo much arent they just lucky. Bomboy's head can finally get the fresh air that it deserves. No more curly hair standing in the way of all that oxygen.

Debbie said...

KemiMamaLopes said...

Almost last. Need to sharpen my skills. Have always wanted to won a gun. Probably not a good thing in light of my road rage. But if I ever come to your neck of the woods, we are going to the range.

Ms Sula said...

So funny! I went to the shooting range today on a date... and I didn't know that liberal, tree-hugger me would enjoy it so much!

I am actually going back for seconds soon... and it really made me want to go see Wanted.

Like you know your response to the next question will be the song that plays on your music player. When I got to the question, 'what do you think about often' the song that was playing on my music player was Bump, bump, bump by B2K Feat. P Diddy. Walahi, Bumight no let me hear word. That was the only part of the post she commented on. A beg warn am for me O.
