The Day I Was Taking To School in a Tipper

CCB reader shares her experience;

My name is Angela, it was a bright morning and the weather was clement enough, we were late for school because we were waiting for our friend Pat.
  
Pat's dad has a tipper he uses for his daily business, the tipper is humongous and pat never liked the tipper. I told pat and onome that we should leave as it we were extremely late for school, pat's dad overheard us and decided he was going to take us to school in his tipper, pat said eh!, i choked and onome started crying immediately. 

We begged pat's dad not to take us to school in his tipper, he said "Are you people mad, you're already late, climb jor", that was when i knew he was serious. I told him "Sir, i'll like to take a public transportation as i have phobia for heights, since the tipper was humongous", he said don't worry, we'll get to school before you know it.

I have never ever seen pat this angry, her face was strong as a rock, if you strike a match it will lite. Pat's dad asked us to climb, he started with me, he said "Since you're scared of heights, you'll sit close to me", i climbed, pat followed and onome finally entered. 

On our way we told him to let us alight at the bustop before our school, he said no o o, that he will take us straight to the school gate. That morning wasn't sweet for any of us at all. As we approached the school, we peeked to see if students were outside, lucky for us assembly had already started, onome literally flew out of the tipper, Pat climbed down (feeling embarrassed) and i just struggled down then ran straight into my class (no assembly for me that day). 

When pat got home, she told us she gave her dad the "warning of life" that he should never ever try that again. Regardless of what happened that day, we joke about it today.. LOL
