We really did the wildest things as kids. [View in browser](=.8wxg0twyB3Cs6wXrITSKqMoVW3d2O0DZbaHJYvQGIj0) [Zikoko Daily] 26 September, 2023 Hey . Twitter (or X) folks have been sharing the dumbest things they did as kids all week, and all that’s on my mind is how they’ll never get to use the saying, “I didn’t kill my parents, so you won’t kill me” — because they damn well almost killed the poor people. 😭 Tife Editor =.TAp6kV6O-mwaa-Zu_QJBh1JFxjWfvP4MpOqe8JS6O50 If you identify as a food lover and meat enthusiast, plan to get your tastebuds tickled.

SHORT READS Attempt at “Borrowing” Shoes Gone Wrong =.wwA8EIAvTsHXseHXbzm8Cuyme1OludcfAEZO3S5LNe8 “My mum travelled one day, and as it was a Friday, I had the bright idea to steal one of her cute floral sneakers. Fridays at the office are Jeans and Sneakers Day. So, good plan, right? I wish that was the case at the end of the day! Feeling fly, I wore them and started my journey to Lekki Phase 1. Big Lekki babe with fine sneakers. The moment the bus dropped me and I got inside the Lekki Phase 1 gate, that's how I heard, “Kpai.” The top and sole of my sneakers had removed. My people, I had to walk around barefoot during work rush hour, looking for a shoemaker. The stares were a LOT, especially around the hospital at Admiralty. I later found a shoemaker after my legs had turned to that of a white-garment church member 😭” — Ify. Your story could be the next one featured here.
