Smart Phone and Sleep Walker
Smart Phone And Sleep Walker
Going viral in the social media that is Whatsapp..
A cute little girl in bed engrossed in playing her smart phone in the night..
The hour was late, she was to be fast asleep in her comfy bed...
All of a sudden, she frantically slips her handphone out of sight....
With quicksilver speed, she scurried off her bed and turned off the lights...
Lo behold, she was back in bed, snuggly sound asleep for appearance sake...
The door opens, her guardian entered, switched the lights and went to her bed...
He arranged the covers and gave our little girl a perfunctory quick tuck-in..
His fatherly deed lovingly done, he is pictured turning off the lights to leave
the room...
Quick as a flash, our cute little girl jumped out from the covers of her bed..
Rushed hurriedly to the wall opposite to turn on again the room light...
When the overhead light lit up the presence of the guardian by the door....
Positioned unobtrusively beside the door laying in wait...
She did a double take and quickly feigned that she was in a sleep walk...
Hands outstretched, eyes closed, just as any genuine somnabulist would...
She hauntingly but unerringly returned to her bed...
Without doubt, this video can win and melt many a viewer's heart...
But for a reality check, it is rather alarming and so sad...
Cos while we chortle in mirth over the antics of the little girl...
Be reminded of the subtle damage to her learning curve...
For such a little girl, she is now evolved into a devious brat...
Seeking forbidden pleasures in the smart phone she has...
Despite the curfew hours and a vigilant father who double checks...
And look at the extent of the lies she can fabricate ...
Feigning sleep walking just to escape the righteous displeasure...
From her guardian who was laying in wait to catch her in her act...
Yeah, this little incident is a source of mirth and amusement...
But be reminded, smart phone usage modify our social behaviour as a fact...
Even a little innocent girl, developing lies and turning sly becomes part of her...
A fair warning to all and sundry, and as adults, we need to keep track...
Before insidious damage takes over the behavioral patterns of our loved ones......
