The Bachelor
32 year old Kojo the bachelor sits solemnly at the bar sipping akpeteshie. His married friend Kwame enquires from him what the matter could be.
"Kwame, I can't believe I'm still single at this age. I have a stable job, a house, I'm good looking and friendly, yet unmarried."
"Is it because you are shy of women? I can't understand it myself because you are a good catch."
"Well, the issue is, my mum says no to every girl I bring home."
Kwame mused over what Kojo had just said. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Ah ha. I think I have a solution to your problem."
"What do you suggest?", Kojo asks.
"Find a girl just like your mum and she won't object".
A few weeks later, Kwame meets Kojo and decides to enquire about his relationship status.
"Did you try the suggestion I gave you?"
"Well I did, and my mom loved her".
"Nice, that's a relief. Means you've got a girlfriend now".
"Nope", says Kojo.
"Why not?"
"My dad rejected her".
Akpeteshie - local alcoholic drink made from palm trees.
Well that was a funny twist I didn't expect in the end XDD
Hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading
Sad, actually it would only be good if the parents respected the son's wishes.
Yes it would be but in some cultures, parents come first
