We all have those moments in our life that we do not want to repeat There are several but what I am going to narrate is something I will never forget In my case it is literally the case of ‘Once bitten twice shy’
There was this old man living alone in our neighbourhood – someone who never mixed around and was kind of a loner. He had a guava tree and I could see yellow fruits fully ripe hanging on there. As a kid and always hungry I got tempted to get inside that compound and help myself.
Little did I know he had a dog that was let loose and rest is history He got my behind. Leave alone going there and I did not even look at those fruits again ever!!!

It’s good when we are learning from our mistakes. Sadly, I am not always like that, haha.
Most repeat the same mistakes.
When I was a child I touched a dog I didn’t know and the owner told me off as it wasn’t friendly and snapped at me. This has stayed with me and I taught my own children and my granddaughter never to touch a dog they didn’t know.
This expression is not about dogs but any mistakes one does in one’s life many do not want to repeat it.
How can that be? Have you never made mistakes that you never wanted to repeat? (lol)
till now , no such moments to share …….thanks for post
