Popular fashion entrepreneur, Toyin Lawani has taken to social media to share photos of herself hawking fruits on the streets with her son, to mark his 6th birthday.
Lawani took to his Instagram page to reveal that her son always ask her questions whenever they are driving on why she gives money to children hawking on the street.
So, she made the boy hawk fruits on the street so as to get the answer to his questions.
Sharing the photos, the fashionista said her son “walk in the shoes of the less for a day” for his birthday photoshoot, and to teach him important values of life.
“For my sons 6th Birthday shoot I made him walk in the shoes of the less for a day, we sold fruits to people and hawked in traffic, few people recognized us but didn’t care, I even tried selling to them, will post a video later and he learnt a lot from it, He didn’t stop asking me Questions when we got home, anytime we drive past kids and I give them money, he’s always saying why this, why that. Now he understands.
“Life isn’t rosy all the time ! For those of us with pot bellies Blessed with abundance of jellies Observing table is not our thing. There are others unlike us with flattened Tummies tossed to and fro hunger-driven Beaten by the reality of our lack. For those of us unlike them born with silver spoons shouldn’t forget That circumstances and predicaments are cousins, we must teach our kids never to look down on anyone because they are more privileged.
“As Parents, We should teach our kids how to accommodate others with love. Happy Birthday @lordmaine2 keep growing in grace, we have so much content to post from today.”
