excerpt from the theme Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Adichie. Sell one. The first time our house was robbed, it was our neighbor or Sita who climbed in through the dining room window and stole our T. V R V C R on the Purple Rain on thriller video tapes my father had brought back from America. The second time our house was robbed. It was my brother, Nama Bia, who faked a break in and stole my mother's jewelry. It happened on a Sunday. My parents had traveled to our hometown, NBC to visit our grandparent's. So Namibia and I went to church alone. He drove my mother's green Poggio five or four. We sat together in church, as we usually did, but we did not know each other and stifled giggles about somebody's ugly hat or threadbare caftan because Nama be a left without a word. After about 10 minutes, he came back just before the priest said the masses ended. Go in peace. I was a little picked. I imagine he had gone off to smoke and to see some girl since he had the car to himself for once. But he could at least have told me where he was going. We drove home in silence on when he packed in our long driveway. I stopped to pluck some eggs or a flowers while enema BIA unlocked the front door. I went inside to find him standing still in the middle of the parlor. We've been robbed, Hiss said in English.
