That gave her some breathing room.
Monday morning.
Carl insisted on driving Nnenna to school, and no one objected. After all, she was about to write exams based on everything he had spent the past 6 months teaching her. If there was anything else he could slip into her mind before they arrived at the academy, it was worth the ride.
…Wishful thinking.
Instead of a serious last minute revision or lecture, Carl did something way better.
He hooked up his playlist, grinned, and tapped play.
A cheerful instrumental started, bright ukulele strumming, a bouncy rhythm, and the unmistakable dramatic flare of a karaoke classic loading up. No vocals, just music.
Carl immediately sat up straighter. "Get ready. This is it."
"What is it?" Nnenna asked suspiciously.
He pointed at her like a game show host. "The greatest motivational song in karaoke history."
Then, before she could stop him, he started singing.
🎵 "Life is a sandwich—bite it with pride!" 🎵
