Nigerian parents live for this annoying saying that goes, “What an elder can see sitting down, a child can not see even if they stand on top of an iroko tree.” This saying has always upset me because any elder that just sits by and lets a kid climb to the top of an iroko tree is a psychopath who wants to see a child fall to their death and should be reported to child protective services.
But I’m digressing.
Anyways, here’s how to be one step ahead of your elderly relatives who won’t shut up about how smart they supposedly are by pulling one over their eyes.
“He fixed it all by himself oh! My son is so smart”
“Chai! Look at my little engineer!”
You get extra points if you help set it as their ringtone.
“My son, the tech wizard!”
Let’s keep it going and more in the comments!
