Kambili's brother and mom, who are both older than her seem to know something about the father that Kambaili herself does not know. After jaja skipped church the father threw a grenade shell at him missing and breaking her mothers figurines. when the mom walked in she didn't seem surprised she just bent down "and started to pick them up with her bare hands" (Adichie 7). Meaning this isn't new to her or the brother.
