Nostalgia


  I Came across this picture on the net, it's reminiscent of my childhood days and it made me yearne for those days when I had no worries of what tomorrow holds. I could identify with the picture because I still try to achieve an auto tuned voice while talking into fan.
 There are a lot of things I did as a kid that brought so much happiness though naughty as some may seem it gave me the opportunity to express myself.
  I always loved playing the role of a teacher to the potted plants at home, I flogged the plants so hard just because they couldn't recite the alphabets after me and trust me,after a couple of days the plants became naked (no more leaves).
  Playing house was so fun, we had a lot of kids in the next compound, we always came together to play house. I was always the child thanks to my tiny stature then. Enjoyed that role because it meant more fruits for me.
  when it came to playing on the sand,I was a Queen.I didn't have the opportunity to go to the beach as a kid but I still built my own sand castle.
 After seeing a movie that had kids working in a garden (secret garden), I started clamoring for my own garden, lol, I started farming at the age of 6.
 Trying to get into the role of Tarzan wasn't easy as well because I landed on my back most times trying to swing and scream like Tarzan using fronds on coconut trees.
 I still remember going to check behind the TV wondering how people could get into that little box.
 There are a lot of funny things we did as Kids. If this juggles your memory you can drop a comment and share with us those activities you enjoyed doing as a kid.

  1. Buhahahaha@ playing the teacher to potted plants. Imagining u doing it is hilarious. These childhood memories say a lot about ur person. U love to teach n u can b impatient wen Pple don't meet ur intellectual expectations. 

    For me, one childhood activity I miss dearly and would love to re-create is bathe-ing in d rain. I v missed that bits. As a child, once the skies gets cloudy, am anticipating a bathe. I would strip to d bum n run into d pelting raindrops. So refreshing. In d village sch, once, it's closing time and it's raining, we quickly say d Lord's prayer, tuck our school bags under our shirts n run into d rain. If mum queries the action, I'd say I was too too hungry to wait d rain d rain out. 

    Am gonna bathe in d rain someday wen it's all me around. Lol.

    1. My dear...rhinorrhea and repeated sinusitis no give me chance o..but mehn playing in the rain was fun o...chai I remember then as a kid when I get soaked under the rain and I feel pressed.. Lmao I will just urinate on myself then I felt why go to the toilet to urinate when I'm all wet and I don't want break in transmission.... The warmth (warm urine for sure)was always welcome then.
