While growing up as a kid I believed in so many lies that I had been told and at some point I cried to those lies thinking they were true as a kid I used to go to a place where they told us stories every evening and some of those stories were not true they are fabrication that makes you laugh scared and cry

I have been told that a lady who was so proud of herself and how long her hair was one day she was sleeping and a rat shaved the hair and when should woke up she cried bitterly I love those lies and I also feel pity for the lady because she has lost her pride

And again I have been told that a woman was grinding in the Grinding stone and a dog was watching and she said do you know how to do anything at all yours is to eat and that is all then when she left for work on her return she finds out that the dog has grand all the remaining corn I laugh to the stood up

I was also told a lie that on independence date you throw away all your old clothes and get no one's from the market but that never happens it was just a saying

Again they say that you must not count cows by pointing your fingers that your hand will get rotten if you do that and I've never seen that happen one day I was sitting down and cows were passing I was pointing and counting at them but I see that my finger never got rotten and I believe that it was a sweet lie

When I asked the question why is it that if a car is moving at a speed you will find out that the trees are faster than the cars I asked why is it so they said that is the truth I can follow the trees and go for my journey but then I realized that it was a lie

What was your reaction after finding out the truth as an adult?

I was like wow so all this while I have been a fool with lies even though they are lies that don't hurt anybody rather it's make you laugh and leave you thinking of what happened and I saw through those things that they lie about we are not true I was just amazing at their creativity

But bet me this lie you can't tell it to these children of the generation they are wise and you'll be left with thousands of questions to answer if you told them such lies

At some setting point in life when I was young watching movies I would cry to the fullest with all my heart thinking of the wickedness of humans displayed on the screen I never knew that they were just an act

Do you subscribe to telling lies to young minds in a bid to protect them or you choose to call a spade a spade?

As time goes on situations of things change modernization and silverization general knowledge I don't tell this generation lies because they are very wise and optimistic they can hold on to the things in their head without letting them go so putting a lie on their head will be like leading then away from the truth

As a mother, I always tell my children the truth because realized that my little boys never forget things easily things that happened when they were small they can still remember and that leaves me shocked that is why I call a spade a Spada before them and the one that I don't want to lie I keep quiet
