Come back; My son.

When we stop feeding from bottles, it means we are growing soundly in mind, our thinking and perceiving of our environment gradually changes. We were born by people who were once born like us, they came before us and have seen and tasted what it feels like to live and what it takes to live. They are strong enough to survive and can now make a living for others who they are yet to born. Lastly, we were given birth to and under their Care, they watched us. A child can never outgrow his parents!

Good morning lovely readers and happy April once again. People tend to have forgotten about the weekend and was more focused on the new month and the prank that follows. May I say a happy weekend to all readstars. To some of us that were pranked yesterday, I hope you won't fall a victim anymore! lol! this April fool's of a thing is a big joke, I was pranked but we move. New goals ready to execute this month, let see how it goes. I hope we all are ready to give our best and feel the good vibes this darling month has in store for us. This is also Easter season ànd soon it will be holy week for Catholics. I wish everyone all the best as we prepare for Easter celebration in no distant time.

Cheers to my lovely sponsors..

Life involves stages and stages but at first, we have to be taken care and breastfed by our mothers. At a time they will stop carrying us around and we walk with our little legs, from there , they stop speaking for us and we speak for ourselves and so on. As a child grows, it becomes less work for his parents and more work for himself, that is why parents train their children and feed them with good norms and truth because as they grow,they grow with what they hear and see around their environment.

Children tends to pay more attention to their parents than adults. At my childhood, everyone were more obedient to our parents than now. Children listens to advice and take it the way they are told. Their does and don't are mostly determined by their parents choices. When a child does something bad, he tends to hide away from being scolded by his elderly ones and sometimes, they cry to avoid being blamed and scolded. For adults, some of us would leave the house without telling where we are going. Few will say say "let me see someone there and come back" someone that doesn't have a name ams place.. only few will tell you where exactly they are going and what they are going to do. Some adults stay with their parents but sees them twice or once in a week. They sleep in the morning for keeping late night and before waking up, their parents would have left for work. This kind of people have been spoken to by their parents but because they are grown ups, dad and mom can only tell them but not force them to do what's right.

As adults, we are expected to count our teeth with our tongue. People who have passed our present stages and are living with so much experience and wishes are calling is back to do the right thing. Our parents are calling us. Come back our Son!

An African proverb says that; "What a man sees sitting down, a child can not see it standing up" The words of advice we receive from our parents are mostly part of their experiences. They tell is what to do when they see us stepping out of the line. They try to correct their mistakes because some of them were not told what they know, so they try to tell their children everything they passed through and how they survived to avoid us repeat the same mistakes. A word is enough for the wise they say!

After hearing all these good words of experience from our elders, and we still not put them to work, sorry to say that our parents won't be happy with us. One thing is that we carry our family names everywhere we go. Whatever we do or say, people will identify us with were we are from, our families. So , if we do good it for our good name and if we do bad, it for our names too.

I know some families that are proudly spoken of in the community. People will always talk good of them and even defend them because of their reputation. Same way, their are families people will advice anybody not to visit them or even marry from especially in my country Nigeria.

When a family is painted in the mud, people will always be cautious of them, sometimes, it takes a difficult task for their children to get married. So young people, it is true we can decide for ourselves and know what is good for us, but let remember that we have people who have experienced our stage now. Seeking advice from them and reading meaning and applying what they say to us , especially our parents is one of the best thing that will happen to us. To all adults that still believe they can do it alone, our elders, parents are calling us back..come back our Sons!

Thanks for reading and have a happy month of April.
