Morning hivers, if you have been following the post I dropped some days ago about a flower which remind me of some things which I have done when I was a child, I said I will talk about some of my childhood days memories some days which I am going to actually talk about now. Before I start telling you guys about my childhood memories, I will first explain what the word MEMORY means, memory refer to the process that are use to acquire, store and also retrieve any type of information.

When we were kids, there are some certain things which we do then and when we remember now we can't just help but start laughing out loud uncontrollably, I remember when I was young and I wanted to start going to school, I can't remember clearly but what I know is that I do cry a lot resisting the fact that I don't want to go to school but prefer staying at home just to be with mum everytime which is not possible.

SOME OF THE THINGS DONE AT THE YOUNGER AGE

I grew up in an area where children are free to do what they want even though my area wanted to be like an estate but it wasn't, I can remember clearly how we do play inside the rain with just our pants anytime our parent aren't at home and the most things we do then was the moulding of houses with sand and the way it is been constructed, we do cherish those things so much after the construction of those sandy houses which we have constructed with our legs, let me tell you guys how we do the construction of the sandy houses, we placed one of the feet on the floor and we start pouring the sand on the leg using hand to to dress it well and making it mouldy then after some time, we remove the foot gently and we are left with a mini hole which looks like an house. We can decide to make fences round it, then after all this we go inside the bush with other children.

HUNTING FOR HOPPERS

We do go into the bush with other children just to look for grasshopper which we are going to put in the house we made with our foot then we catch those hoppers alive as that is one of our greatest joy and which makes the feeling of moulding an house come forth, we can also hunt for other ant which is not hopper Alone but any big ant which we were able to catch then we put them and close them in the house which we have made.

Another thing which I remember was the one which we do wait for expecting the rain to fall and after the rain have stopped, we go in search of snails and we know exactly where to get them, if we want to make a great Search for snails, then the first place to go to is the banana tree, they are so much there after rainfall and we do search thoroughly because we know after seeing it, it can be prepared for us and be added to soup or be used as snacks.

Some things are sure necessary to be done when young but I don't think children which are been given birth to now can do all those things again. I remember how we do use spoilt tyre of cars then if your dad has a car or generator where they put it on against the floor, and we start riding it through the street using it as a car if our own, not only that, we made use of planks where we add tin of milk as our tyre and we start using our bumbum to move it. It was so full of fun then.

THE MEMORY WHICH I CANT FORGET

There are lots of rough plays in the hands of young children back then which I don't think nowadays can be done again because then and now can't be compared to eachother. Then when my parent aren't at home , we do play so much around with my siblings and do a lot of crazy things but other people in the environment won't notice, we were playing around one day doing some of our crazy shit which we call hide and seek and it is so common among children then using sticks and toy to play those crazy stuff. I went into hiding for the game but when I observe that I can be easily seen I went up into the ceiling but my elder brother was inside with his friend not knowing what was going on, I was crawling in the ceiling and mistakenly my leg hit the slate and I fell down inside the room where my brother was with his friend, I have so many scars on my body and my brother scolded me but we later went in search of solutions by going to an incompleted building to steal some slate to cover up our messes.

Then when our parent came back I had to lie without showing them my scars that some small boys threw a stone which broke the slate but I was scared they won't believe not until my elder brother backed me up and they believe immediately. I was so happy. Till now the scars of that crazy play was still on my body and I can never forget that day and it will always be part of my memories forever.

Do well to always check my post as I will be talking about setting up a studio in my hostel soon.
