Being a girl child.

Being a girl in this part of the world was really a though one for me while growing up because you have to dress like this, sit like this, serve you brothers first before taking yours and make sure to clean up after food. Making sure the house is in order is a daily routine for me and thats my daily job then after i will have to go to the market to prepare food while the boys go to school. My dad was among the people tgat believed a woman's education ends in the kitchen so there is no need of wasting money on me.

Most times i cry because nobody asked what i wanted, some other times i hide to read my brothers book and take note.  It was easy for me as a smart and intelligent girl to understand though not all. One day my dad came back and told me that tomorrow your husband will come and take you away...........
