You say in your comment below that people wouldn't believe it. I believe it.
Your description of Mymmy Fiyin's behavior is excellent. You don't tell us she embarrassed you; you show us.
There was a time when I was a child when I had to ask for food, also. Also my mother sent me down the road with my sisters. The woman who gave us charity acted exactly as you describe.
This is the sort of memory that never leaves you, but it shouldn't make you bitter. I hope it makes you kind, because you know now how it feels to be in that position.
Sounds like you are doing much better today. I'm happy for that.
I would like to suggest that in future stories you pay a little closer attention to where you put your quotation marks. This is not a big deal, but the story is so good, and otherwise, 'clean'. It's a pity to have such a small thing stand out.
Good writing, @fashtioluwa
Thank you for this comment; it's encouraging and points out where I can improve myself. I do appreciate you taking the time to read everything. I do. Thanks so much.
I will take note of that.
Yeah, people find it hard to believe this story sometimes and we are doing better now. 3 Graduate out of the 4 kids and we are doing fine on our own. Much love.
