Aunty Gladys's Lesson

It had been a beautiful Saturday evening. When Martha and Claire rushed into the kitchen, Aunty Gladys had just finished putting porridge in the oven. They were so excited about their supper that they asked Aunty Gladys when it will be served. Her children had come to her after playing in the garden because of the lovely scent of the porridge. Aunty Gladys saw Claire and Martha's hands and feet were coated in mud when she glanced at them. It didn't take her long to realise they came running to her from the garden.

Aunty Gladys led Martha and Claire to the restroom with a slight smile on her face. She sat down and began teaching her children the value of cleanliness as she requested her children to dust themselves and freshen themselves. The little girls are all ears to their mother as she tells them a tale about herself and how she is always on time. Martha and Claire's eager minds responded with inquires. "Mommy, Mommy, did you always tidy your room when you were a kid?" and "Did you always go to school on time?" ".. Aunty Gladys gently answered all of her girls' questions, seeing their curiosity.

Aunty Gladys waited at the door, watching Martha and Claire pick up their toys and make their bed as the two girls rushed to their room. She was ecstatic, and she had a large smile on her face!

Shortly, the girls exchanged glances as a burning odor began to annoy them. "Mommy, what's that smell?" they ran at aunty Gladys, scared and irritated. Aunty Gladys' heart skipped a beat when she realized the porridge had been left in the oven for so long. Aunty Gladys was rushing to the kitchen when she noticed the cupboard was inundated with overdone porridge, and the burnt smell and smoking had made the beautiful kitchen appear unappealing.

When the clock struck eight, Aunty Gladys knew that the cleaning lesson had been wrecked when Martha and Claire entered the kitchen, asking their mother for supper.
