Sanc8: Share Your Thoughts About CHILDHOOD

When I think about my childhood, three things always come to my mind: Whot, my late mother, and the games we played in the compound.

WHOT was my favourite game. I do normally play it with the other children in the compound. We would sit together laughing and shouting anytime someone played a Pick Two or General Market card. Those small moments felt so big to us back then.

Another game we loved was Police and Thief. In the evening all the children in the compound would gather outside and run around some acting as police and others as thieves whereby the police will be in search of thieves, shooting and everything.

It was simple but it gave us so much joy. Nobody needed a phone or a TV to be happy. All we needed was each other and the open space in front of our houses.

The part of my childhood that means the most to me is my late mother's pampering. Every December she would buy me new clothes. It was not just about the clothes it was the love behind it.

She made sure I felt special at the end of every year. Even now whenever December comes I remember her and how she made that time so warm for me.

Childhood, for me, was Whot cards in my hand, Police and Thief in the evening air, and my mother's love wrapped around every December. Those are the things I carry with me now that I am grown.
