I think all parents should read this:
THE SEX FAST!
Daughter (Coughs out): Hmmm…
Mum (looks up at her daughter, then continues picking her beans): Any gist for Mummy?
Daughter (looks at her Mum): I think I am not normal anymore…like, I am sick.
Mum (Chuckles): Sick?? Why?
Daughter: Because I am over-sensitive. Whenever I see a guy, I have this weird feeling compared to when I meet a girl. Mum, I get worried oftentimes if I would scale through adolescence without defiling myself!
Mum (laughs): You are afraid?
Daughter: It seems you don’t understand, Mum. When I see a guy’s bicep, Oh my God! If he mistakenly exposes his abs, then I would almost faint, feeling as if I should run into his strong, muscular arms and be cuddled.
Mum: And so? That’s why you are not normal?
Daughter (Eyes widen): Mum!
Mum: That shows that you are very normal, my baby girl.
Daughter: I don’t understand, Mum
Mum: You fasted recently right?
Daughter: Yes, Mum – a 3-day dry fast.
Mum: There was an occasion that I made plantain and fried egg for dinner for the family. How did you feel that day?
Daughter: Mum, it was sensational! As if I had never tasted plantain. I wanted a bite so bad.
Mum: So, why didn’t you get into the kitchen to get yourself some?
Daughter: Mum, I was fasting!
Mum: Nice one! Son, can you hear us from there? Put off the TV please.
Son: OK, Mum.
Mum: As an adolescent boy or girl, don’t think it weird when you are attracted to the opposite sex. His or her stature or the like might appeal to you but it shows that you are normal. You wouldn’t say, you are abnormal because you can perceive the aroma of fried plantain while you were fasting. Would you?
Daughter and Son: No, Mum!
Mum: All unmarried people in this world are on a sex fast until they get married. Different foods like juices, fried fish, chicken; Shawarma and the like would appeal to them dressed up as handsome men and beautiful women of different shapes and sizes but you’ve got to block your perception! You are fasting!
Daughter (nods repeatedly): Hmmm…I am getting it now.
Mum: The aroma could be pornography, sexy boys and girls, devilish games and all but be warned, you are what?
Daughter and Son: Fasting!
Mum: So my daughter, you are normal. It means all the parts of your body are responding well but the Bible says you should keep your body under control.
Daughter: Mum, I can’t thank you enough. I expected you to scream at me, frown your face but you are trustworthy and I can count on you. And that is why Mum is our… (Signals to the boy)
Son: Confidant! (Both laugh)
Mum (Smiles): Blessed children… Very, very blessed!
Daughter and Son: Most blessed mother!
Mum: But never forget the lesson learnt today. (Expects an answer…)
Daughter and Son: We are fasting!
Mum: Yes. The fast will soon be over and your dish of dodo, freshly prepared with well garnished fried eggs with a chilled bottle of wine would be delivered to you but first, wait! Say “I will wait.”
Daughter and Son: I will wait!
Mum: And the Lord will bless you.
Daughter and Son: Amen!
(They hug their mother and she blesses them both.)
Keep sharing until it gets to every parent and all adolescents and the Lord will bless you real good.
Please let’s be this kind of parent to our blessed children.
