by Oyindamola Shoola There are people who see
red, and there is Bimpe who sees crimson, cerise, magenta, scarlet, maroon, carmine, burgundy, and claret. She picks through life with the tips of her nails, sieving through all details. Wasn't it yesterday she boasted that she was toasted by a man who bought her a Lamborghini which she declined because she wanted a Bugatti? We twitched our lie-detecting noses and laughed until there were tears. Everything else would have died with silence until Halima said, "Even when Jesus put a feast before Bimpe's enemies, and commanded her to eat, Bimpe said she is on a water diet." Toasted: This means to be wooed.
