Funny and weird moments with my kids

Most times, I wonder if children of this generation came to this world with a special kind of brain. This is because some of the questions, observations, and curiosity my kids throw at me most of the time put me off balance. I will be staring at my ceiling, searching for a suitable answer to most of their weird questions. When I was a child, I don't remember troubling my mummy with some kind of weird question. Lolz, oh! could it be that I was a dumb kid who could not exercise her brain to think deeper? Hehehe, I doubt it! But on a second thought, I wasn't too observant of things around me; just leave me to play with my twin brother and make gentle trouble, and I will be okay, but Wait, do we have what is called gentle trouble? Oh, that's from Nkem's dictionary.

So I was on my own, performing my motherhood duties in peace, when these boys came seeking one minute of my time. I asked them what's going on as my older son was whispering to my younger son to talk while the younger one was doing the same to him. At a point, they both threw the question simultaneously, as if they had done serious rehearsals before approaching Mummy. Hear the almighty question: How did you birth us? And why do different children have different moms and dads? Ahh! In my mind, I was like, How do I escape this first part of the question, and what made these children imagine this? The only answer I could give to the first question was that I gave them birth through my tummy, and they immediately asked how. Did the doctor cut your Tommy for you to birth us? If yes, open it and show us where we came from. Now, see my trouble oo..lolz. When I managed to escape this command, my second son pleaded that I should put himself and his brother back to my tommy and born him first so he could be the elder brother and have the ability to choose snacks first before his siblings at home, lolz. Just imagine what's bothering him, but that's some kind of weird question from those innocent minds. I was able to explain to them why other children have different moms and dads, but how they were born has to remain unattended until they reach a certain age.

You know most of the drugs we buy out there, if not all, are usually written keep out of the reach of children. Somehow, my second son read it from a drug and attacked me for keeping the drugs where he and his siblings could easily pick them up. He went further to say, Mom, it looks like you want us to abuse drugs by mistake, and that's bad for our health, according to my teacher. At this point, I felt like a dumb mom.Hahaha, oh no!

Have you been questioned about being stingy with yourself? Fada Lawd, lolz! If only these kids will understand that Mummy is only being smart and curtailing expenses where she can, but no, it was the other way around. In my country, we have been experiencing a serious hike in transportation fares due to the high cost of gasoline. So most people have resorted to trekking, and I am not an exception.

I had just a stone throw movement, short distance, and the bus driver charged me #400 for a distance of #100 before. I felt bad paying such an amount, whereas I could have trekked it. On coming back, I respected myself enough to trek home, escaping the transport fare expenses. As a fun mom who always gists her kids on how my day went, I told them that Mummy trekked home and saved some money. Oh boy, you can't imagine the response I got from these kids: "Mum, I thought you do make money with your phone every day; why did you trek? I think you are becoming a stingy mom. Hehe, I felt like squeezing their mouth, hahaha 😂, what do they even know?, I was only saving money, and they called it stingy ,lolz. Most times, some funny,crazy, and weird things they say make me feel like using cello tape to seal their mouth... It's all fun after all...lolz
