Part 1
When de wata for de pipe don block, de next tin na to break de pipe. And to stay without wata during winter no be wetin anybody wan joke with. So to avoid dis one, you go open ya tap small so da wata go continuously dey flow. Dis one go stop de wata for pipe to form ice block.
For de past three days, de cold for here no get part two. De kind snow wey don fall for some states plenty well well. Place like New York don get snow for dis three days wey dey equal to de kind snow wey dem dey get for de whole winter season. We for Texas dey lucky say snow no dey fall too much.
In fact, snow dey hardly fall for Texas. Anytime wey ee try fall na so people go dey behave like say manna dey fall from heaven. Children go dey play with de snow. Some go build "snow man", odas go mold am like ball dey stone each oda.

WINTER DON COME AGAIN!! part 1
Dat time of de year when I hate well well don come again oo! Yes, winter season don begin for Texas wey I dey live. Temprature don begin fall to around 33 degrees Farenheit (1.7 degrees Celcius). I remember de initial time when I come yankee, de cold for winter almost freeze me one day. I wear de wrong jacket to go skool. Na so I begin shake like leaf. My fingers come strong kakaraka like stone and na so my ear almost break comot. De more I dey breath, de more I dey feel like say I dey inside freezer.
People been dey tell me say make I no worry, say I go dey used to am. I don dey here for almost seven years, and I go tell you say I neva still dey used to winter. To me, ee dey like say every year de cold dey increase. Me and cold no get any business. Even when I been dey Naija, I been no like harmattan at all. I remember when I been visit Abuja for harmattan, na so I dey wear two sweater any time I wan comot for house.

HOUSE HELP
"Cleaning help wanted, must be able to work independently", "nanny wanted urgently". Dis na some of de adverts you go dey see for newspaper or for websites like craigslist. For here, if you need house help, you no go just carry person pikin as we dey do for Naija den come make am to do all ya housework.
You must specify de kind work wey you wan make de person to do. If na to clean ya house, look afta ya small pikin, or to clean ya compound, you go find person to do dat work for you. And everytin for hia boil down to one tin-money. Dis one go depend how many hours or days de person go do de work for you.
