Happy Children's day

   Kids...A blessing to every one who has them, is related to them or even as much as comes in contact with them. Naive of their surrounding and yet do not live in fear but in freedom. The purest form of the human beings. Pure in heart, body, mind and soul. They are fragile, weak and tender, cry easily and yet have the feature that qualifies as true strength...they forgive so easily. Though they are quick to cry but that cry can turn into laughter in a nanosecond  and all you have to do is make a silly face, give them an ice cream or their favourite toy. The cutest kind of troublesome, living and breathing natural disasters when they are awake and yet calmer than the calmest of seas when they slumber. Kids...you just gotta love'em

Happy children's day to all the little ones out there. May you all grow to be better than the generations before you. May you all achieve greater heights than those who taught you and those who came before you.




As a kid life was so easy and stress free. Back then I used to think life was hard but I had no idea what responsibilities could do to you and that growing up as a whole was a set up on it's own. Lol. An irreversible and unavoidable set up. I have a couple of fun memories that I know most of you might have shared. Here are a few 'em

• I polished my shoe with Vaseline and tissue to make it shine
• In Primary school, when they sang "Are you in the lords army" in morning assembly, when the song get to  "...So I will never steal from my mummy's pot" I would look around for my mum cos it was already too late, I had taken meat from her pot. Yeap...I was guilty
• When the song continues to "I will never...beat up my younger ones" I'll pretend to demonstrate the beating action and hit the kid in front of me real hard.
• I spoke into our standing fan, my voice would come out distorted and i'll claim I was robocop
• I Tied wrapper round my neck and ran around the house claiming to be superman 
• Best game was Suwe...That thing rocked! lol

Lol.. And these are just a few of the fun memories I had. Things have become complicated now so to the younger ones and especially to the elders who have kids. Make sure they experience all the fun they can while they are young. Give them good memories and fun times. Make sure that they have a good childhood, do not take it away from them. There would be time for responsibilities so make sure that when that time reaches they would have fun memories to reminisce on.
   
To the grown ones, you might not be as little as you were a couple of decades ago but do not forget to always have the heart of a child. I promise it comes in handy once in a while. You will need it on those days when things seem to be tough on you.

So to both the young in body and the young at heart one more time I say a big Happy Children's day to you.

....Now how about you? What are some fun memories you recall? What are those things you miss doing?
