REALITY CHECK #23 - BURST THAT PERFECT FAMILY BUBBLE

Michelle always thought her life was perfect though she didn't know much about life. On her turning Eight years things started to change for the better for her family. They moved to a bigger house, and it seems her mum is really going to get that bike she had always fantasized about owning as she journeyed to school everyday. Her mum just got another transfer at her work place and the last holiday she spent with her mum at her station was complete bliss. Mum wanted her to continue school under her care, Yipee! Now she kept her excitement inside as she had shown enough on the outside already. They journeyed to mum's new station in that nice and latest car that mum said God provided for her. Michelle's joy was full

As they danced along with the car moving slowly over potholes and gallops driving through what looked like a residential area, Michelle couldn't help guessing if every street and beautiful house they slowly approached was going to be their new home. Mum interrupted the music playing , "How would you like to get a big teddy bear next?" Michelle gave a big grin. The surprises where now in overdose, she had long forgotten 'teddy' her brown fur less companion and almost the only toy for years, since um came home with a snow white fluffy cutie she immediately fell in love with.

"Thanks, mum" she responded almost halfheartedly as she continued her search, but mum continued

"You remember Uncle Yusuf?"

Her smile lightened up as the name rang a happy bell. The last holiday at mum's station, mum had a lot of young people sharing the flat with her and Uncle Yusuf was so much fun to be with. "Yes!"

"He got you those gifts, the teddy bear, toys, books..."

"God bless Uncle Yusuf"

"Amen, he's a very nice man she bi? You could call him small daddy you know, his nephew Dan calls him that"

Michelle's brows kissed "But I have my own daddy?!" Bewildered at mum's request

"I know, just 'small daddy' don't you think he deserves it?"

Michelle's silence said a lot as she pondered on what she just heard

Why do I have to call Uncle Yusuf daddy? What is happening to mum?

Can you guess what's happening?
