Good morning everyone and how are you guys doing today? Am doing great over here, the feeling of waking up to celebrate another Christmas celebration is a great feeling.
This made me remember when I was little, I use to think a lot about how was going to eat on Christmas day.
My best memory of Christmas was when I was a child, it was when I use to cry for chicken legs.
Being a child vs being an adult is something that just came into my mind when I went out a few days ago, I saw some kids jumping up at the mall beside the bank because their parents are buying Christmas clothes for them, and am sure there must be chicken at home already.
Being a child there are a lot of things you do without any limit, you don't care about who is looking at you or what will people say. As a child, we don't have any worries or problems, all we know is to eat, play and make friends since we are just a child.
The heart of a child is so cool they don't have an enemy or hate anyone, they practically play with anyone that comes their way, now to talk about the festive season as a child hahaha 🤣 I love those days that I will cry for chicken legs or chicken wings because that's all that matters to me back then since am not the one providing the food, my duty is to eat and be satisfied.
Today when I see some children think, it surprises me because I doubt if my generation had anything to think about when we were kids.
I have come across a child who practically said I want to make money so that I can take good care of my mummy and am sure she understands a little about what her mom is going through to provide for her needs.
Being an adult, I think adulthood is a scam because if not, why will somebody be growing only to come and be doing all this stressful stuffs?
Being an adult, you have so many things to deal with starting from taking care of yourself and the parents who look after you while you are growing up, you have responsibilities like paying bills and thinking of how to make it in life as well.
An adult doesn't have time to think about chicken legs or wings, some don't even remember the last time they bought Christmas clothes (like me) and it is not as if we don't have money to buy but what we are thinking is way bigger than Christmas clothes and the chicken though we are happy to celebrate it as well.
This is a short story about my Christmas experience when I was little.
My dad loves his kids to stand out so when it comes to a festive season like this, we are number one in our area.
Although, I was still very little but I could still pick from the story my mom always told me whenever she missed my dad.
My mom said Esther when you are little, you don't joke with chicken legs at all during the Christmas party, and that was a very beautiful memory of my Christmas celebration because I can't imagine how badly I do cry for that chicken legs that has no meat.
She said even if am sleeping, my dad will keep that chicken leg for me because he doesn't like hearing me cry at all lol 🤣 omo daddy (daddy's girl).
Now that am an adult I don't even remember the last time I saw chicken legs, I have a lot more on my mind than that one. I called my mom 3 days ago to tell her have sent her Christmas foodstuffs money, and guess what she said, "won't you come home, am going to kill a chicken o and you know the legs belong to you. lol 🤣 mom doesn't know that I have outgrown all that stage.
I smiled on the phone and told her I don't like chicken legs again because there is no meat in them.
You can see the difference between a child and an adult, if I were still a child there is nothing that can stop me from going home because of that chicken legs that has no meat but as a child, I do enjoy it back then but now I don't even want a whole chicken not to talk of the legs.
Childhood is sweet during Christmas and I miss those days even though I don't like chicken legs again.
