My Restless Feet

I just came from the gym when I received a text message from my brother that I needed to buy some stuff for our house and run some errands. Great. I was all ready to go home and head to my bed in order for me to get my well-deserved rest so I can relax. Now here comes another task for me to do before that.

So I headed to the nearest mall downtown and bought the necessary things. I was strolling somewhere when I chanced upon bet365 bingo. It made me remember of the time when I was still a kid.

I was with my grandmother who liked to be with my cousins and I every Sundays or practically every weekends. She would bring us to the nearest shopping center and we’d just play games all day or even just watch a movie. But it even came to a point that we played Bingo together, and to think that this was a form of gambling and we were minors. At least they let us in because we had an elder watching over us. It sort of became a recreation activity.

Funny thing is that it went to a scenario wherein my grandma shouted “Bingo!” in the room, with all the bells ringing and all the lookouts approaching her. But then, after checking our ticket twice, it didn’t meet the requirements. It was a false alarm. It was pretty funny that my grandma who I perceived as someone very strict, just laughed at the whole thing.

Those were the days, whenever things were so simple and yet so enjoyable. That’s why every time I’d be able to see some people that play bingo, I’d just put a grin on my face, remembering the times when we were still little. It makes me want to play it not because of wanting to win, but it’s more on the reminiscing part.
