Sweet Mother, What It Look Like?
I was hanging out with my friend, Gee Oh, at the Golden Tulip Hotel’s swimming pool at the gloaming, and rationing on their best effort at Italian cuisine. A live band was keeping time on the same half-dozen rehearsed songs in changing cadences. We were challenging each other to a dance, when the band started “Sweet Mother”, but Gee Oh changed her suiting mind because people might have thought that she was my mother, although she looks pretty youngish herself. So, I was just wondering: does it matter what people think?

Sweet mother! Huh? Geez I see the connotations in her mind.Like sweet sugar mommy!
ReplyDeleteI suppose no woman, especially a young, beautiful thang, would want to be swinging to sweet mother around a young man. Women associate words with agreat deal of reference to whatever may be happening around them.
The song probably made her feel pretty old.
In Ghana, the rumour mill is another version of the truth. I understand her apprehension.
For me it does. I won't want to be mistaken for a grown man's mother. That would be a big jab at my ego...
ReplyDeletehaha...I agree with posekyere and Iris! You can dance to "Sweet mother" at your wedding...lol
ReplyDeleteI agree, Posekyere. Better safe than sorry, should people think or even ask if she's not shy to be out with a tot.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, KAO.
ReplyDeleteMaxine, at a wedding? I'd rather wait and play it at mummy's 70th.
ReplyDeleteGee Oh should not worry about what people say! People always have something to say!
ReplyDeleteWhat people think of us is what makes us who we are. It is just like our NAMES; although it is ours others use it (to call us) more than we do. So they determine who WE are
