This is why I call my husband ‘Mr. President’

None
I told him what the issue was and he said, "Just leave it here for a day, I will get it fixed for you." I asked, "Ain't you supposed to give me a new one? It's only been three days?" I left and came the next day to collect my phone. Just a day after, the phone started acting up again. I rushed there; "Young man, I'm tired of coming here every day just because of a phone. I don't want it again. Just take your phone and give me my money." It turned into an exchange of words. He took the phone, looked at it and said, "I'm sorry you have to go through all that. This brand of phone is like that. When you're lucky, you won't have problems with it but people often buy and regret it later.” He asked, "Are you a teacher?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "I like your uniform." I said, "Thank you." He checked the phone for some minutes and called the guy to bring a new phone. A week later, the phone fell from my hand and got cracked right through the middle of the screen. He said, "You are come back again?" I laughed and said, "Yes I've come back again." He asked, "Is my Engrish collect?" I said, "You are trying. Small small you'll improve." He said, "When my Engrish come, I swear I won't talk Twi again. Everywhere I go, Engrish nkoaa." Instead of fixing my phone for me, he gave me a new phone and asked me to teach him English in return. "We began talking to each other often and whenever he made a mistake, I corrected him. He picked new words effortlessly and used them in a sentence immediately. One day, he called and asked the English name for bankye. I said,"Bankye is called 'cassava' in English. It got to a time, we were always on phone talking about meaningless things. One day he said, "It's like am love you but my mouth is heavy to say it." I told him, "Say it in Twi because I can't understand what you're trying to say." He laughed and said, "Twi is heavy for my mouth. Love is easy in Engrish than in Twi." I could make him pronounce all words correctly but strangely, I couldn't make him say 'English. He had two phone shops and sachet water making machine that he rents out to people. Every day of our dating life became English lessons. We'll count the money at the end of the day and I would send the money to the bank. During the exchange of vows on the wedding, the pastor said, "I" He said, "I Amos Boateng" The pastor continued, "Take you Evelyn Osei to be my wife" My husband echoed, "Take you Everyn Osei to be my wife" Pastor: To have and to hold from this day forward. He said, "I look like a president, don't I?" I said, "You're the president-my president from this day forward.” Source | Summary
