Weekend use to be the most busyest day in my compound well of cause it should be because that's they only time most people don't go to work children are at home running around and doing their weekend house duties father's most time goes to work very late young guys with their loud music always contributes to the noisy environment morning hour is always very busy everyone has one thing or the other they are doing of cause almost everyone in the compound have either clothes to wash plates and back of pots to wash house clean up compound survey and clean up it's always a busy morning I remember those days as a children or should I say teenagers we normally use that opportunity to challenge our selves based on who will finish the house chores on time as a teenager I was always a part of the competition yeah it's fun and also helps finish up your work on time without feeling the stress the most fun part used to be the part where after everyone must have finish their house chores we all gather at the center of the compound with our bathing buckets both boys and girls we sing and dance slashing water on ourselves we are sure to waste a full drum of water in the name of bathing but we're definitely going to refill every gallon that the water came from and then after everything we entered into one of our neighbors house who won't be coming to work that day and spend the rest of our day either watching movies playing cards or our usual hide and seek game until the evening when our parents comes back and the compound becomes busy again
Having this flash back makes me smile and wish to revise the hands of clock to the days of fun fill childhood but no no it's forward ever like they say
But this days doing all my weekend house chores and duties use to be very tiring and boring because there's no motivation again for that even teenagers of these days no dey get time for weekend house chores again not to talk of competition or house chores challenge talkless of have fun bath outside the compound woohh the days one day my 3 year old niece asked me to close my eyes that she wants to remove her pants I shock hahaha woohh I was like see this small one of yesterday oooo 馃槀 They only thing we now hear every weekend morning is the shouting of parents especially mothers they will literally scream their voice out just for one kid to go wash the plates mennn
In the midst of the noise a radio FM was silently playing this Katrina's song I think the man playing the song was also disturbed by the noise cause he increased the volume of the radio and just like that I found myself nodding to the song and also getting distracted by the happenings around but then the radio did their normal wave interruption and the song went off ohh no no I grabbed my phone went to my YouTube channel I searched the song and there it was
WALKING ON SUNSHINE BY KATRINA AND THE WAVES
I plugged in my ear piece and played the song woww watching the videos alone made me smile and laugh yeah this is exactly what I need now the song was giving from nodding my head I took off to the dance of the beat dancing and shouting Woah ohh hahaha just in a twinkle of an eye I was already done cleaning the house even the plates varnish even before I could finish shouting Woahoohh still active and ready to set out for the next duty it was as if the energy of the old time came upon me cause as I danced and do my work I started remember my old friends back then as a teenager the way we gather to help the last person who still have plenty chores and we will always sing and dance and shout my favourite friend then will always give me a bout knock out which will definitely throw me off balance weekends was always fun for us then by now am sure I was also contributing to the noise in the compound I kept the song on repeat it played over again and again I was already I love with the song also at cloud nine imagining when my love will come knock on my door
WALKING ON SUNSHINE drew me back fun memory lane that I wish was still there
Yeah I miss those days the thoughts of growing into adulthood of loneliness never came to our mind then I just wish maybe one day just one day I will meet with my old friends again and laugh at our childhood drama and also share how life is treating us now but in all We're still WALKING ON SUNSHINE WOAHHHH
