Arodan! Now that's a funny coded prank played on troublesome kids by their mom or grand mom. I can bet even modern and young moms don't know what it is not to talk of playing the prank on their kids because they are too busy with fashion and English language, lol. Anyway, when a child is restless and troublesome and the mom or grand mom need a quiet time, she sends the child to a neighbor to collect 'arodan', a coded language indicating that the mom needs quiet time, the neighbor will send the child to another neighbor, then the next neighbor will send him to the next, and the next to the next and next and next. By the time the child goes back to his mom, he is so exhausted and will fall asleep. Then the mom will have her quiet time... Very funny prank! 1 Like |

Scrypt:Lmao! It reminds me of when I was young and at that age when kids ask questions about virtually EVERYTHING. I would disturb my parents with endless questions. One day, we were watching a music video and as usual, I began bugging my dad about the musician's name. The baba turned a weary eye to me and said the musician's name is 'Onwefa' (It does not have a name or No Name). Thereafter every musician's name became 'Onwefa'. Whenever I asked my parents who so and so was, the reply was 'Onwefa'. It came to point I became suspicious and began to wonder why all the musicians were bearing the same name. ![]() ![]() 6 Likes 2 Shares |

We were locked up in the house most of our growing up years, my parents never sent any of us on such errand. I won't advise parents to send children on such in these days of kidnapping, rituals and pedophiles. The world is crazier now than it was then. |

My mum loved me but i dunno why she sent me to go and get arodan that day. Well, d person made me sit down and after two hours told me to go and meet my mum that he has given me d arodan with nothing in my hand.
