Mrs Edet's baby daughter is learning to crawl. She learns very quickly and within few days was able to move quickly. She would enter the bedroom, kitchen, veranda and even the sitting room by crawling. People who visit the home nicknamed her the family taxi due to her speed and her skill in crawling about. All times you find her inside cushioned upholstery seats. Recently she climbed into a back chair from which she fell down knocking the head on the tiled floor of the veranda. Before long she sneaked into the bathroom and was wet all over with moisture from the environment. One day she picked up a millipede and the mother quickly snatched it from her palms.

Remembering the wise words of elders that "a stitch in time saves nine" Mrs Edet made deliberate search for a day-care centre where she could drop the baby every morning before proceeding to her school, being a classroom teacher. She refused to take the risk of leaving the baby under the care of her house-help alone. This decision was applauded by her husband and all neighbours who heard about the sad millipede episode.
