I just remember the time from when we were kids and our engagements and I thought to share.
Enjoy!

10mb
The days of sefanru and waptrick and wapdam when we'd use 10mb to download many games. I remember waiting up until midnight so I can purchase awoof mb for #100. See how 100mb feels so little now. It can do jest to nothing. Then, who knew what 1gig was?
In the rain
Playing in the rain, running around !naked/half-naked fetching water into our drums, pouring water on ourselves, playing ten-ten, pursue-pursue, and football.
Peep in
Remember when we'd stand at our neighbors windows peeping-in to catch a glimpse of what they were watching? If you're unlucky and it's the house of the kid you fought with, the small rat will shift the windows, open the door and invite everyone in except you. Kids can be very petty. If you beg him and he takes pity on you, the monkey will give you ten commandments.
Chef pro lite
We'd steal collect foodstuff from our various home-kitchens, every one of us contributing something, and then we'll cook them using empty tins. Sometimes, with no fire and the food will go to waste.
That was the Genesis of mummy-and-daddy plays. Ohhhh
Biggest scam schemes
Remember when our parents especially mother's will rub our heads and gently coerce us into giving them our cashgifts with promises that they'll put them in banks. Where's your own money now? Have you gotten it back? Just ask them of the money and they'll remind you how they carried you in their womb did mine months and are suffering did you.
Kai! I should have been a billionaire by now. I planned to get five houses, travel the world, buy all of the latest cars, even marry one new wife every week.
But, see what my mother has done... See!!
Temple run
Remember when you asked yourself if you were truly your parents child? Remember when you nursed the thought of running away from the house because you saw it in movies that when kids run away from home, the parents get to sad, search frantically for the kid and when they find him, they beg him to never runaway because they'll never hurt him again.
Oyibo film, you do his one! LMAO.
For this Nigeria??...Once you step out, don't return. Just remain there because, the gospel according to your parents cane will be ministered with vigor at midnight.</i.>
Just remembered the day a neighbor son dodged her backhand when she wanted to use the weapon of brain reset and he mistakenly held her hand. Hei! In this nigeria? Next morning, all their family members had gathered on his account. This woman told them thzg he almost bat her.
Oh tailor
Hello ,
. Umm sorry. I meant, hello tailor. Remember how skillful you were in slim-fitting meat in the pot. How you'd tiptoe about the kitchen without notice. How you'd open and close pots noiselessly. Also remember the days when the devil wanted to show you shege and the lid of the pot fell off your hands during the "moving" process. You know the next stage nau. The midnight sermon followed by...
Somebody shout glory!

Childhood was fun and I guess all of these little things made them so
Look how far we all have come and then take sometime too to reminisce on how these trivial things could have made us so excited with no care in the world.
That's just the way stuff should be. Easy, light, exciting. Take life easy and be happy.
I hope this made you smile.
Thanks for stopping by.
