Life is good. Life has its perks sometimes, despite all its (very many) bumps. However, you might, for any reason, decide that you’re tired of life and living.

1. Put it on your mother’s head
You know how your mother says “put it on my head” when you ask where to put something? Try putting it on her head, for once. Let us know how it goes.
2. Rub your father’s bald head

Just like in American movies. You think you can pull it off? Go for it.

Just know you’re finished.
5. Defend yourself from beating
“So you want to beat your mother abi?”
