*PREPARE THEM TO GO BACK*
*Every Parent Must read this*
It did not take Mr. Desmond long to notice that his son, Fred was behaving funny when he went to pick him from the school. 15 year old Fred is among the SSS 3 students that went back to school some weeks ago to write their WAEC examination.👍🏻
Fred was living in the boarding house before the pandemic and the resultant closure of schools. But when the government announced the emergency reopening of schools for final year students, his parents decided otherwise. They chose to play safe by not taking their son back to the hostel. His father rather chose to do the school run for the period till things get clearer and better.👌🏼
On this fateful day, it took Fred longer than usual to come and join his father in the car for their journey home after the school. And when he eventually came out he wore this kind of weird look on his face. He barely greeted his dad as he threw his school bag on the back seat before taking his seat beside his father, who was at the steering.🤔
Mr. Desmond knew that something was not adding up somewhere with his son, but he chose to ignore him. On their way home, the father stole glances at his son on several occasions and discovered that the young guy was lost in thoughts. He was starring blankly into space while making involuntary gestures with his fingers. 🤷🏽♀️
After a while Mr. Desmond decided to break the heavy, but almost audible silence between him and his son. He went thus:
"How was your day, boy?"
Fred (without as much as turning to look at his father): Fine
Dad (wanting more interaction and gist as they had always done on their way home): how fine? What happened in school? Have more students resumed? What of. .
Fred(cuts in impatiently): Oh dad! I said everyt
