I hate it when someone accused me for not doing anything, and that is the reason why myself don't judge or accused people based on what I heard about them without evidence.
I had a friend named Tayo he's my childhood friend. Tayo, had a father who worked as a secret agent but if you are not moving closer to the family you won't know about it because he always left for work so early even before the day break. Her mother was loving mother but slightly skeptical because she don't take nonsense, so time I always avoid going to their compound.
Tayo always complain for me several times her mother always accused him stealing meat from the pot because he is the only one always sleep late at night. So whenever she noticed the missing meat she always had a wild theory that the children were the rascals responsible for the disappearing meat, particularly Him. And he have been bearing the brunt of his mother's torment, getting blamed for the missing meat every single day.
However, he decided he had enough of accusations. He was determined to be a watchman that night just to know who is behind the scene and put an end to his mother's misguided suspicions.
That night, he told me he set-up a plan to positioned himself close to the kitchen in order to know who among them always come behind to steal a meat. That night he was determined to bring justice to his name.
As the clock ticked closer to the early hours around 4 o'clock in the morning he can't resist the sleep again because his eyelids already grew heavy, he went into a deep slumber. After his father left for work, a sound from the pot wake him up, he make a move to tiptoe to the kitchen but it was just a rat that tampered with the pot. He was disappointed at that moment because his intentions is to catch the thief, but that moment bizarre thing happened.
Unknowingly her mother wandered into the kitchen and meet him there, her mother blinked and said finally she catch him. "Mom! You won't believe it! It's not me, I heard a sound too, but it's a rat!" Tayo exclaimed, but she don't believe the situation before her. She beat him that morning and give him a punishment without an evidence.
Tayo continue investigating, and what he noticed is that, meat always disappeared from the pot around that time his father always left for work. The shocking part of it is that nobody knows Tayo's dad had a peculiar habit.
Tayo noticed his dad was the one always go to the kitchen every morning before he left for work. He always sneaky to take from the delicious meat his wife had prepared because he won't be around to eat anymore from it.
His dad was a master at leaving no trace behind, but her mother won't believe if he explained to her, so he decided to tell her mom to report the missing meat to his dad whenever he is at home.
One weekend when everyone is at home she decided to report what has been going on in the house to Tayo's dad, without her mom talking too much his dad confess he's the one that always take meat from the pot. He gave a reason why he always do that whenever her wife just cooked delicious food and he won't be around to eat much of it because of work. Everyone burst into laughter because he mentioned the whole house always cheat on him.
