Childhood

November 4, 2021.

Hello read cash Family, it was not everyone that enjoyed their childhood but mine was in between. What i mean by this is, i can't say if it's bad or too good.

I'm the third born and the second daughter of the family. So I'm going to talk about my childhood. When I was younger I was always full of fun, although, still full of fun a lot of things has changed now.

When I was younger my parents were always busy although the little time they spent with us was always worthwhile.

I remember then there was no Sunday without us not going for an outing after church services. I usually enjoy our visit to the amusement park, many rides to try.

Were you a lover of Salad, when you were younger? I was never a lover of salad thank God I had an elder brother and sister who were always willing to help me with my salad.

Our parents were the kind of parents who provide everything we need, there was no room for complaint. They prefer us to always stay indoors. I remember when my elder brother and sister usually do like horses to carry me and my younger sister at their back. We played all by ourselves. As at then our routine was home, school, home, we spend most hours in school. My parents never allowed us to go inside anyone's house and anyone was not allowed to come inside our house.

There was one day our neighbor's daughter who was our friend came to our house, we allowed her inside the house knowing full well that we have violated our parent's rule. Suddenly we heard the car horn of my dad's car, that day wasn't funny we took her to Our room (Children Room) and told her to hide under the bed. As my dad came inside, we went to do our usual thing, like welcoming our dad. I and siblings were thinking about how we were going to let her out of the house. Her mum was already calling out her name very loud, so we thought of one of us distracting our dad to go to his room. Immediately my dad went to his room, I quickly went to call her from where she was, it was funny that day but we were scared. After she has left, I and my siblings were just laughing about what we did.

@Ebizz thank you for the sponsorship.

Ohhh I remember my brother having a friend called Micheal. Micheal was so cute, he was just the girls kind of guy but I didn't like him because he was every girl-guy, I was hard on him and he dare not misbehave when he sees me although we played together. My parents knows him since he was my brother's close friend then.

I remembered one stupid thing I did. I never knew it was bad, I saw our neighbor's husband ( our friend's dad) kissing another woman. I didn't know what I saw was a bad thing and it was not something to be said out. The funny thing I did, because my parents weren't at home I went to my neighbor's house to play with my friend then I told her mum what I saw 😫.

I don't know who sent me a message to deliver. The next morning my friend's dad was already knocking at our door. It was on a Saturday morning, my parents are usually around. My friend's dad narrated everything to my dad. My dad called me to come outside for me to apologize for what I did and he explained to me what I didn't know about before, I felt sad.

My parents taught me and my siblings how to save, So anyone that saves the most will collect the bonus. My dad usually asked all of us different questions relating to academics, Sport, newspapers, Current Affairs, etc. Anyone that gets it right would win some certain money, we were all always eager to get it right. We call the questioning "who want to be a millionaire questions?" there was always an option like call a friend and two options would be removed from the option to pick from the remaining two, it was always interesting.

There was one ugly incident that happened, my parents went out that Saturday morning to get a new fridge in the house. My elder brother went out of the compound to play with his friends before my parents would be back, my elder sister went to my parent's room to use my mum's makeup on her face so that she can scare me and my younger sister while I went to the back of the compound where the generator house was, that was where I was playing with fuel, generator oil, I used the fuel to make gum. The gum is formed when fluffy( that white stuff that is always inside of a carton when you buy something like television)is mixed with fuel, and I was also using the oil to play. Suddenly it poured then my younger sister came looking for me in the backyard of the house, she noticed I have poured the oil. Immediately she was trying to look for my elder sister to report me to her. She didn't know my elder sister was in my parent's room, she thought my elder sister went across the road. I tried calling her back but she didn't answer me then I left her so I went inside the house to watch some of my favorite episodes on Nickelodeon. Some minutes later a woman came knocking that my younger sister has been hit by a motorcycle, she told me and my elder sister that our sister has been rushed to the hospital, we were shaking that what are we going to tell our parents when they come back. After one hour we heard my dad's car horn. my dad came in, my younger sister was with them. Her elbow, forehead has been plaster. Before my parents were back, my elder brother was back from where he went to then we narrated everything that happened.

My mum likes beating, every little mistake we did she was there to caution us by using her hands and it was usually painful but my dad doesn't, he is good at using words to straighten someone. My parents are good at disciplining us and they can also spoil us with enjoyment. So my parents asked us to narrate everything that has happened. To our surprise, my parents didn't say anything they were just thanking God, if not I would have lost my younger sister.

Thank you for reading, this is where I am going to stop for now. Feel free to drop a comment.
