There are things that used to drive our mums crazy. And of course, we got a whooping for it.

Here are things we did as kids that got us into serious trouble.

Being sent and forgetting

Going to the shop singing a list of things you have been sent to buy but then someone greets you in the way and you immediately forget what you were sent and now you know you are going home to be beaten.

Being beaten for not eating

Food was like war. Every single bite if food ulikuwa unaambiwa meza ama nikuchape.

Being beaten for playing until its late

A child of 6 years reaching home at 8 cause of playing ile war mtu alikuwa anchapiwa hapo alafu unakumbushwa hujaoga na hujafanya homework. After such a fun day of games now it ends badly.

Being beaten for coming home dirty

Kwanza if you went to play after being warned not to then you came back home dirty. You deserved some hits form the slippers.

Playing cha mama and cha baba

The game of couples and even children.

Always buying a sweet when sent to the shop

Every time ukitumwa ulikuwa unaambiwa na hiyo 1 bob ni ya sweetie. Which child wouldn’t be happy???

Every high schooler dream was endless bread

If you have seen the real face of an 8-4-4 boarding high school then you will know everyone’s dream was to eat bread with no limitation.

Balancing the light switch

Just to see what will happen. I don’t know if we expected it to be dim or what but we all did it.

Having a near-death experience and not telling your parents because you know you’ll be beaten

When you go for those crazy escapades as children, you’d do very risky things and even get injured and not say. Ulikuwa unajua kama umesema that’s the end of you.
