THE ERRAND BOY!

Sammy came to me and asked, "Mummy why is it that you always send my sister to buy things but you don't send me?"

I tried as best as I could to explain to him that he was still too young to cross the main road and it wasn't safe to send him on such errands for now, since he's just four years old until he grows a little more.

The young man had a hard time accepting my explanation.

"But mummy I really want to start going to buy things for you."

Now I was touched. Awww, such a lovely kid who wants to run errands for mummy.

In my heart, I said a prayer for God to bless this son of mine.

Then I said, "Boy when you grow a bit older I'll start sending you on such errands okay?"

The next thing I heard was, "Mummy I am big already, that's why they call me, Big Sam, I can go by myself. I promise you I'll be very careful, I'll not jam any car on my way. Even if the driver is not careful, I promise I will not jam him!"

Now I was really shocked by this statement.

I didn't laugh o but wait, Sammy and the car who will jam each other?😂😂😂😂
