Are We There Yet?

 "Are we there yet?"


That is the most overused statement in the history of families, children and road trips.


Don't try to deny it, you said it too. 

As long as the distance was longer than thirty minutes you said it.


I'll admit, I said it more often than normal- probably because when I was a kid I got road sick really fast.


The one and half hour drive to Benin?

 I'm sure I said "Are we there yet?" more than fifteen times.

A drive to Warri?

Double it.


Don't get me started on the times we drove to Lagos.

Thinking back, I'm sure all the adults felt like gagging me.


Unfortunately, I had a sibling who did the exact same thing.


And another?


At a point, three of us did it together.


But what could we do?

We were simply children bored out of their minds from seeing endless road and trees.

What are you like during a road trip?

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
