Shhh…Let’s Keep This Between Us

If I am being honest, I haven’t experienced the “scam part” of adulthood. I am still under the wings of parents not because I have no wings of my own but I just choose to be with my parents till whenever.
Before you ask about the whole why I want to be with my mom till whenever, let me break this news to you. I left home for a year. Life was good and all till I got ulcer. Not because I was broke or anything but I just couldn’t take care of myself.

Unlike at home where I’ll be called to come and eat, this time I had to cook for myself and call myself to come and eat but I’m just a child.(20 something year old bouncing baby) Yes! Still at this age, my mom cooks for me and calls me to come and eat. Not because I can’t cook but she thinks it’s a privilege to be feeding us while she still can because she knows it won’t be happening forever.

This and many more made me come back home. You sure might be expecting me to say the perks of adulthood but then I have been living that life of no restrictions at home since I was a child so I don’t even see certain things as perks for real. For example, my mom never restricted me from attending parties or adventures or anything. She would even force us to go because basically that’s how you learn lessons in life and get experiences. Experiences are not gained at home.

Wait, now that I think of it, I think I might have one particular thing I do now that I wasn’t doing as a child; Going on dates! I have always loved going out because I’m a full sanguine, life of the party and always hyper but then when I was a child, my mom would let my brother go out with me for protection or whatever. If you have a brother you’ll understand this annoyance that comes with your brother being over protective at social events. There were dates I had to decline because of that boy whose parents are mine too.

What about now? Oh my oh my, I am enjoying my youth. I go on all sorts of dates. From friendship dates, to church dates to “you know” dates. Thankfully that boy whose mom is my mom doesn’t even stay with us anymore to be doing that “over protection”. I get to go on car rides and all with my friends. Oh did I add the part where he doesn’t know I go on dates? Well he doesn’t know and I will forever hide it from him because I know if he finds out he’ll come and sign that “contract no pay” again.(Nobody should go and snitch on me o).I know I’m old enough but I will forever be his little sister.

It’s actually funny that, this is the only thing about me growing up that makes being an adult nice for me but as I explained, “I grew up long time before even growing up” so I have been living that life of no restrictions since primary days. (Once again, nobody should tell my brother I’m going on dates)
