Bomboy now has a full set of baby teeth. We thank God for that. My mother is especially happy because she wants to introduce him to shaki, kpomo and bushmeat in the near future. In other words, "assorted meat." My father's village is the bushmeat headquarters for Ondo State, but, that is a story for another day.
Anyway, The Enforcer (TE) takes her big sister duties very seriously, and so, the other day, she offered to feed her baby brother some grapefruit. Never mind that the boy can feed himself, she insisted on feeding him because she sees her father feed me grapefruit at dinner. But, once again, that is a story for another day.
Where was I? Oh yes. TE picked up a piece of grapefruit, walked over to her brother's highchair and proceeded to feed him grapefruit. Who no like betta thing? Bomboy was happy to be spoilt and eachtime, opened his mouth wide with an "AHHHHH" each time the grapeftuit approached.
Well, it took no time for the love fest to end, however. TE was busy talking away, as usual, not watching what she was doing when all of a sudden we heard,
"Ouch!!!!"
which was followed by a seriously dramatic wail and a rush of large tears!
Bomboy chomped down on his big sister's fingers.
I can't lie, husband and I laughed when it happened, but here's why. We warned her to be careful. Besides, the same happened to me earlier in the day when I was feeding him cheese. And, it happened twice, as the boy liked the reaction he got when I screamed in absolute pain, lol!
She has now sworn off feeding either of her brothers, which I thing is definitely a good thing. She has now learned what I learned, that hand feeding a baby is definitely an occupational hazard to avoided at all cost. Particularly, when that baby has been blessed witha fulls et of sharp teeth.

4 some reason I am more interested in the bushmeat story.
Hope Bomboy dint bite TE too hard.
Am I third?! Or technically Second? Funms you know you can only be either first or second and not both right?
Hehehe! Being bitten by baby brother is much worse than having food spat on your face! lol!
Yup! If you ever fed my lil' sis when she was a baby, be ready to get splattered with gooey stuff!
Occupational hazard indeed!
Awww poor girl...she has been scarred...what discusion on nollywood are you talking about love?? I dont see any links...
Poor baby. Baby teeth can be very painful. Hope she is ok now.
buhahahahahaha bomboy no try o, abi him tink say na 'shiken???? :-)
BTW vote for me and i go vote for u (man no go vex) :-)
Hello SolomonS,
The appearance of teeth is the beginning of great caution.
I had my sister on my back some 30 something years ago and she sank her teeth into the fleshy part of my shoulder parts - I could well have been in the jaws of a tyranosaurus rex.
I cried the rivers of Babylon and Jordan - she never found the succour of my backing her after that.
Baby teeth are an innocent but present terror, beware!
Regards,
Akin
lol!!! ok i shouldn't laugh..poor girl..she was just playing big sis
Where is the discussion???
And yes, you can call me jarrai xxx
awwww, hope bomboy hasnt scarred her for life,
we wouldnt want her not feeding her hubby grapes in future:)
That your son is hazardous SS, haba, lol and he likes the noise from the pain he has inflicted,lol
poor darling, its not her fault jare, me too I wont even go near that child, lol
@ Funm-Funms: na you biko! You carry first well, well, today! =) Bomboy's teeth are far too sharp. Everyone is scared of hand feeding him, lol! As per the grapefruit, its just a little thing we do every evening. Hubby opens up 2 grapefruits and shares with everyone. I, however, get hand fed! Its pretty cool.
@ O'Dee: I like this you name its so Metropolitan, lol! Bushmeat eh? Yes, my mom wants the boy eating assorted meat at the soonest, lol!
@ Enkay: Hey girl!!! *waves* So your little sister would spit up goo on you? Ewwwww. I am sure she was super happy to do it too, lol!!!!
@ Afrobabe: Hey girl, sorry about that. I put the link in. Check it out.
@ LusciousRon: aww, you are too sweet. TE is just fine, but still refuses to hand feed her baby brother. She rather put his food (like snacks) on the floor, than put her dainty fingers anywhere near his sharp teeth.
How are ya?
@ LG: everything is shiken to that boy. lol!
"vote for me and i go vote for u (man no go vex)"
Exactly. But, you know say I AM A SOMEBODY, shey? =)
@ Akin: Everyone say hi to Akin! He's an Easier Virgin.
*Easier Crew says "Hi"*
=)
So, I just cracked up seriously reading your comment. A tyrannosaurus Rex forced you to cry the rivers of Babylon and Jordan, eh? lol!!!! Classic. Thanks so much for sharing that, you are quite a funny character.
@ Aunty Jarrai the wordmerchant: lol! Yeah, TE is fine though.
I finally put the link us for the Nollywood discussion. Check it out when you can, okay?
@ Fantasy Queen: You are too funny. I am sure she isn't that scarred. lol!
@ Zena: the guy is indeed hazardous, no lie. But, the guy is smooth because even when I tell his aunts to watch their fingers, they still enjoy finger feeding him.
What can I say? =)
First of all I had always assumed that you were from somewhere in the East or South-South. Something in your ID and the way you talk never allowed me assume you were yoruba. Apparently I was dead wrong.LOL
Eyaaaa, I guess your daughter is beginning to learn that its hard being good sometimes.lol
@ Doug: Yes, she is learning that, I guess. lol!
As to where I'm from, I am a bit of everything. Dad is Yoruba, Mom is half Kalabari (from Rivers State) half Cameroonian. I lived for years in Cote D'Ivoire, New York, Maryland
and speak French, English, Japanese (but am quickly forgetting), pidgin (but not as sweetly as Waffy) and am relearning my Yoruba accent via watching Youtube movies, lol!
Okay, now you know a little bit more about me...
@ everyone: today has been a super bad day for me, but my mood is brightened by your funny comments. Thank you all and blogville in general (cos I have been bloghopping to temporarily avoid dealing with reality) for giving me the distraction I need.
LOL @ "Introduce him to shaki, kpomo and bushmeat in the near future..."
TE was practicing romantic moves and this thing happened...hope it will not stop her in future...sorry to TE...
Ouch, that's painful!
Hahaha poor girl.
Dont be surprised id she turns into a bully to her brothers in the future...,this incident can cause emotional scaring and repressed anger lol. (joke)
Poor girl, hope u rewarded her for her effort.
Btw dont change the topic, finish the grapefruit story....,!!! lol
You speak Japanese? How totally totally totally AWESOME!!!! I'm learning it too...with French and German. But until you, everyone I told I was learning Japanese thought I had a screw loose up in my head!
You just went a gazillion notches up the coolness scale SSD!!!!
lol! that is so funny. I guess she's learnt her lesson and wont be feeding no babies in the near future.
Poor Enforcer...kpele oooh.
Madam you better start with the assorted meat now ooh and stop that talk about the near future. It seems like Bomboy is ready to rollllll. Bring on the kpomo!!!...lol
beautiful caring darling TE. and tomorrow she will just forget and go right ahead to feed him again
Your Nominee sign almost blinded me...anyways, even if I dey jealousy u now...I still voted for u...
*But when u win, we go share the wins o...50/50!
Ok, back to reading...
lol..ayah..hope he didnt bite too hard.something like dt happened when i was lil..my bro was feeding me groundnut wasnt looking n put two in my nostrils.. lol...
All that protein you fed baby has given him powerful milk teeth! So in a roundabout way it's you and your Oga's fault LOL!
Believe it or not, I have tried to access this blog several times without success. I am now following you. This is an interesting blog and I am looking forward to more

Awww..poor TE. I'm sure she's learnt her lesson. Next time she'd probably use a spoon/fork....lol
