My playful childhood

Childhood remains an integral part of every human being on Planet Earth. This period in an individual is very important because it’s the learning stage of an individual. Despite that continuous learning, plays or recreation cannot be omitted in a child’s life. With this, I wish to do a playback of my childhood with this article.

When I was a child, I lived in a neighborhood whereby children of the same peer group with mine were available. With that, we formed a clique of playmate which translates into friendship. My cousins, my siblings and I mixed with these newfound friends. The thing is my parents didn’t allow us to play during school sessions but we were given liberty to play in our compound during the holiday.

We developed a play which depicts family settings. The rule I the older boy is the father, older girl is he mother while other are children and relatives. With that, everyone mimicked the role played by their main counterpart. In the play, the father provides money to the family, the mother cooks while the children support the family.

During that play, we discovered our line of automobiles which we called motor. This automobile was a combination of stick, circular discs and nails to make a rollable object. That was how we started our Roll Royce company@@. Fortunately for me, I was able to gather the individual component of our so called automobiles. Permit to show you the processes.

Fist, I made sure that the disc and the stick are properly aligned
Then, I made punctures in a pawpaw stalk which will help in joining the component parts
Finally, I joined all components together
Here is the final result

Back in the days, we as children had our way of measuring our wealth. The simple way is the amount of automobiles you possess. This is because the risks of taking a disc were high and we valued the one we had. If any disc at home got missing, we are held accountable. So, we avoided picking any disc at home rather thinking outside the box to bring more innovative ideas.

All the same, I’ll say that my childhood was nice and fun filled with plays of al type. I hope the Gen-Z has a taste of what we had rather than playing PES and mobile games all day.
