Attending church with your parents can give various reactions from being sad to happy to being overly frustrated sometimes. Growing up we all had that time when we had to go to vigils with our parents and these are a few things that may have happened or maybe still happen.
1. When your parents tell you there is a church service that “evening”
2. And it starts at 10:00 PM
3. And they say “go and sleep now so you can be rested”
4. But your body has other plans
5. When you look at your watch and it is almost 9:30 PM
6. And you are trying to give a flimsy excuse
7. But your parent is not having any of them
8. The long speech on the way to the program about what it is about
This must be the first part of the sermon.
9. When the testimonies and admonitions are getting too long
10. And your parents catch you dozing and sleeping and give you the death stare
11. So you have to stay awake or pretend to by all means possible
12. Having an eye to eye contact with your parent when you should be closing your eyes for prayer
13. Six hours later and the pastor is about to start his “short sermon”
14. And there are still four things on the program of events
15. When you hear “In conclusion” and all traces of sleep evaporate
16. And it is time to head back home
