"Granny!.. granny!" Alicia called out with excitement. She had some piece of bread in her mouth. They were having breakfast at the dining table.

"Yes, dear" Mama Gloria sipped from a mug of tea.

"Tell me something, maybe a gist, a story, or whatever. I just want to discuss with you Mama, any." She said with curiosity.

"But you know is wrong to talk while having a meal yeah?"

"I know" she cut in.

"They had Alicia's best food that morning. Alicia continued biting loaves of bread. She made sandwiches with the slices and scrambled eggs. she crushed each piece in her mouth, sipping her tea. She had more than she could chew in her mouth.

"Don't get yourself convulsed, you'd be constipated." Mama laughed.

She would never hear that. Mama Gloria must have repeated herself an umpteenth time.

Bukunmi came to clear the table.

"Ok Mama, how abaau my request?" she clung to her. Mama swabbed small crumbs of food from the dining table-cloth.

"What exactly do you want to hear?" She smiled at her loving granddaughter.

"Maybe a gist about something that happened at your workplace or so, just anything". she replied.

"Oh my, I got so many things to talk about here darling. I've been working there for about a decade now, so the gist would be endless."

Alice's face brightened. It was exactly what she wanted to hear. She was quite excited her granny had a lot to say. She adjusted the dining seats and turned it to face mama, she sat. "Mama, please take off. I can't wait to hear." she beamed with a curious countenance.

"What's the time?" Mama Gloria asked.
