Is it raining your side?
I remember I was a kid, it rained like the roof was playing a drum. It would get a little chilly, and I'd feel a bit shaky.
But my parents were great! They'd put lots of blankets on me until I was all warm and cozy. My mom, her hands always smelled nice, would tuck me in really well. Many times, she'd sing Dolly Paton-coat of many colours (am not sure if her name correct)
My dad would also come. He'd make sure my socks were up and tuck the blanket under my chin. It made me feel safe from the cold and rain.
If the storm was loud, they'd leave a small light on till I slept of but the next morning the will find me sleeping in between them🤣😇
Being tucked in and feeling safe from the bad weather are happy memories for me. It wasn't just about being warm, but feeling loved too.
One time, after a lot of rain, my mom went to the market. She got me some soft sweatpants and night gowns. They were so comfy! I wore them to bed that night, and it felt great.
But the next morning, I thought they were too nice to wear only at night. So, I washed them and saved expecially my night gown for Sunday🤣
When Sunday came, I was so excited to wear them to church! My parents always went before us. So when I stormed into the church, I ran to where my mom and dad usually stayed, my mom on sighting me, bust out of laughter🤣😂 my dad face when he saw me in my night pants was so funny! He just stared, surprised. When we got home that day, hmm! It wasn't easy for them to convince me not to wear it to church again. My dad even told me to save it for Christmas so I could wear it in the village🤣🤣🤣
What funny experiences did you have while as a kid?
