Sinless Souls
.
Most families have one. Some, like in Zazu’s family, have two. Oh, OK, some of you don't know Zazu. He’s the hornbill in The Lion King. Mufasa's major domo. Still in the dark? Either you look for a light switch or a candle or you go and get the VCD.
Most families will have one. One brother or sister who gets away with murder. One brother or sister who does the least but gets the most. Usually it is a son but then it is not a monopoly. He is also the same one that the mother dreams leaving the business to even though the only thing he knew about hard work is how hard it is to wake up in the morning. Usually it’s the mother but then again it’s not a monopoly. This is the same one that the mother dreams of sending overseas even though he did not memorise the multiplication tables.
Many don’t have to work. The favourite do not have to. Many don’t even have to study. You can’t study? It’s OK, we’ll get you all the tuition teachers you need? Still can’t study? Stupid tuition teachers, we’ll get you others, better ones. You didn’t pass the exams? It’s OK, you were sick during exam week. Just your luck, you were alright the other 51 weeks but you were sick during that particular week. Otherwise, you’d get all A’s instead of the 8 D’s and 2 F’s that you have now. You can’t get a job? Your father will help you. Father, you know what to do. A cushy job, please. What? The supervisor at work is victimizing you? My God, what’s happening to this world? Why did all 18 of my child’s supervisors turned out to be maniacs?
Whoever marries the favourite will have a good life. Until he or she becomes a mother- or father-in-law. Nature should dictate that the punishment should fit the crime. But sometimes it does not. They sometimes get away scot free. Money? Your money is your money, my money is our money and the others’ money is our money too. You want to start a business? It’s OK, I’ll get each of your brother and sister to cough up a few thousand each. That should do it. If you fail the first time, it’s OK, there’s more where that came from. You want to get married? Just get your handsome looking face ready, we'll do the rest. You want a bike? You want a car? A house?
