A night with Grandma

Grandma sitting on the mat under a tree with her grandchildren Yemi and Bola. Yemi is the oldest while Bola is younger. Grandma what do you enjoy in this our contemporary days I believe will be more interesting than the olden days? Yemi asked as she throws up a stone and grab it back from the air. During grandma's days they go to the stream to get water Bola said as he tried to take away the stone from Yemi, the both of them have to start dragging the stone, then grandma interrupted you both should stop fighting or else you will go to bed without any stories. Suddenly they stopped.

Grandma saying to the kids I wish time would me back to the good old days, where we always do things together as one. My children the old days are far better than this contemporary days, nothing enjoyable in this contemporary time ,despite the fact that there's no communication gadget, we still get information. Bola and Yemi were seated in silence, listening to their grandma. If it was the old days by now children will be on the street playing, dancing, singing and listening to good moral stories as well. But look at you now, you can't go out of your house because you are scared of been harmed.

Hmmmmm grandma exclaimed, I remembered Timi back then my very good friend, we do virtually everything together, we were more like a sister than a friend. She eat at my house and I also eat their food as well. The good old days brings a cordial relationship between parents and their children and also with in the children. By having dinner at night with the family and so many stories after eating. But you in your days there's no time for family dinner is 8pm your parents are yet to be back from work.
Back then we don't buy food just like your generation where you buy virtually everything at high cost, Bola interrupted then grandma how do you get food, do they fall from the sky. Yemi chuckle and hit him on his head , coconut head she said, Grandma smiled, then again another fight between Bola and Yemi. Bola stop it, she's your elder sister, grandma she hit me on my head and called me a coconut head, Bola said as tears rolled down his face, Yemi don't do that to your younger brother again, besides he just asked a question. Grandma but he's very stubborn, I did it playfully and suddenly he started fighting she said reluctantly. I think is time for you both to go to bed, because this your fight is turning something else, Grandma said calmly. Yemi said with a sleepy eyes grandma no continue with the old good days story I'm enjoying it. This is all I have to say the olden days and the old good days with families and friends. Yemi you can now go and sleep you are already feeling sleepy. Bola already sleeping on the mat after crying, grandma stood up and carried him as she wait for yemi to fold the mat so they can all walk inside to the bedroom.
As they approach the bed room Yemi said grandma you will continue to tell us stories and good memories every night, grandma smiled and replied only if you stop fighting your brother, Yemi nod her head and said I will stop. Grandma put her to sleep and went to her room.
