CHILDREN OF YESTERDAY

I remember those days as children when we look forward to being our best in school uniforms, heading towards the stadium after practicing for weeks on how to march and salute the governor. The excitement of meeting old friends in other schools, showing off your parade uniforms, the anticipation of being called out as the winner amongst other schools and taking the grand prize. The freedom of experiencing the scourging sun and moving around without anyone baby sitting you to move and not move around. Lol. (Bell ringer's routine) and of course the joy of not bothering on so many other things has kind of fizzled out.

Can you remember how we used to play eten or ten ten , suwey, kicking seed, game box, mopol, fake cooking with grass on small tin tomatoes cup, children playing together in a big field, reading and spelling competition  and many other interesting games. Oh! How I miss those days .

Today, the fun of childhood have being replaced by fenced compounds, computer games, DSTV e.t.c. Sighs!😔 children don't catch fun again.


Well, I know the children of these days cannot understand what I am talking about but can only imagine it. Being an adult does not change the fact that I was once a child. Children now fend for themselves and don't play anymore.

Despite all the changes out there, I want wish everyone who was once a child and the children of today. happy children's day. Please give your child a treat and make them feel special. E hugs. Shines teeth.
