Reminiscing...Missing some days

I miss the days
When we would sit round a bowl of hot eba and okro very early in the morning
I miss how my brother would use his teeth to divide beef while swallowing half while we sat there looking at him with every ounce of  annoyance in our bones
Oh! I miss the days

I miss the days 
When eating chicken was luxury and rice was for special events and "Iya Teju" was good at making those puffy "red-made" christmas dresses for us
Oh! I miss the days

I miss the days
When we had to go to the farm early in the morning and looked forward to eating roasted corn or yam at the farm
The insects spared us not tho
Oh! I miss the days

I miss the days 
When we had to learn a new word and its meaning everyday 
Woe betide you if you are unable to use the words in sentences
Oh! I miss the days

I miss the days
When you sleep off while studying at night and dad would hide the books. Be ready for some jumping up if you were unable to provide an explanation of how your books disappeared while reading
Oh! I miss the days

I miss the days
When i knew all lyrics by heart and Tevin Campbell was our sweetheart. Dancing was also a favourite but lifting a leg is an hearculian task now
Oh! I miss the days

I miss the days
When growing up was eagerly awaited and we all wanted to be lawyers, doctors, bankers and always looking forward to the end of the year party
Oh! I miss the days


Growing up was fun. Moments of bad and good. Make every moment count. I miss the days
