For how long am I going to teach you these things? You haven’t<br />

learnt a thing! Why does your mother need to know about your<br />

break up with Alex? I can’t believe that you are even<br />

considering telling her about the baby daddy dilemma, who<br />

does that?<br />

Aunty,<br />

U-Crazy<br />

Kwani how old are you? If I were you, I would<br />

focus on the pregnancy thingy it kinda covers<br />

everything. “I am pregnant”. All it takes is a 3<br />

letter sentence, what is the big deal there?<br />

Wait until she leaves then text her that you are pregnant; She is in<br />

a hurry after all and might not process the<br />

information well. If she doesn’t reply or come<br />

to your house, give her a day or two to process<br />

then call her. If she doesn’t pick, show up and<br />

inform her that you need to talk. Aunty Crazy is<br />

right this one time, your mum does not need to<br />

know aboutthe break up or the baby daddy drama.<br />

It would tear her in pieces.<br />

Aunty,<br />

U-Nice<br />

Aunty,<br />

U-Wise<br />

This is a delicate situation, first if she is in a hurry<br />

to leave, this might not be the right time to bring<br />

this up. Ask her when she is available for an hour<br />

or two you would like to have an important<br />

conversation with her. If she insists that you tell<br />

her what it is, tell her that you will not be able to<br />

go to Australia for the scholarship because you are<br />

pregnant and you would like to have the baby before you<br />

proceed. You are still eligible for the scholarship and you would<br />

further it in a year or so.<br />
