Running Away

 At some point or the other, every teen thought of running away from home when they were younger. This isn't an African thing though, it's a kid thing.


We pack our favourite toys and think we'll be good to go.


I recently saw a video of a kid who looked about six years old that packed his bag and announced to his dad he was running away from home. When they brought him back inside, all he had was a minecraft sword and a skateboard.


I was much more reasonable, I think or you could call it chicken. I thought of what I would pack and who I would run to, but I realized they would all bring me back home so I didn't bother running at all. I thought of it though.


I have a friend whose brother said he was running away and started crying immediately he left the gate.


How did you plan to run away?

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.
