i miss being a kid,
who feels me?

1. eating jambulas during PE and getting beaten for it or at times escaping narrowly.
2. tacking skirts or dress ends into your knickers to play kwepena and even with the boys present it aint a big deal.
3.worrying ONLY about homework, daddy's signature being on it yet there are lots of gaps galore!
4.feigning stomach ache or some other illness just to stay home and avoid passing through those end of term exam papers or holiday work that was not done.
5. prolonging the sickness to keep eating specail food (my fave was and still is irish potatoes in whatever form)
6. missing church coz i over slept...and being caned for it.
7.waking up late and being caned for it.
8.not doing housework and being caned for it.
9. not doing homework and being caned for it.
10. making makeshift boats from fallen coconut canopy like leaves and sliding down steep hilly terrains or sliding down a staircase banister and being shouted at for it, or threatened, at worst caned!
11.eating alooooot of bread and not worrying about dieting
12.throwing stones at boys becoz they are boys
13. being able to be naked , playing naked in the rain and passing with it.
14.watching tv and playing video games like its a full time job.
15. calling people 'bum scratcher,' 'so what so fat, as you are!' without sounding retarded
16. being soooooo optimistic and myopic; its only today that matters
17. spitting from a high building and wondernig on whose unfortunate head your discharge fell on.
18. fighting for the co-driver seat, the one near the door or that chair in the dinning or the one thats comfortably placed infornt of the TV
19. Fighting for the remote control and to watch your favourite programme like my little brother says, 'its my right!'
