Woman rents billboard to celebrate daughter’s doctorate degree
Nothing in this world can come close to a mother’s love. When a child achieves significant success in life, it is the parents who are most delighted.
This is why a woman from New Jersey, in the United States, is gaining traction on social media for putting up a billboard to congratulate her daughter who earned a doctorate degree.
Kendra Busbee was so proud of her daughter that she chose to tell the entire city about her accomplishment. The proud mother paid $1,250 to hire the billboard, according to reports.
Ms Busbee in a post shared on Facebook on July 28 said: “You must be my shining star. You were going to shine no matter where you are! I am the proudest mommy. I love you Dr. Kristine S. Smalls.”
The post acquired hundreds of likes and comments with users congratulating Dr Smalls on her achievement and Ms Busbee for being so proud.
Everyone passing along Route 130, just south of Airport Circle near Camden, could see Dr Kristine S. Smalls’ face and her accomplishments.
According to a report, Ms Busbee’s daughter, Kristine, obtained her psychology doctorate from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine on July 29.
“At the age of five, she knew that she wanted to be a doctor. That’s was the only reason to celebrate big,” Ms Busbee said. — ndtv.com
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
