*PERSONAL LIBERTY*
Jane turned off the gas cooker and slowly closed the lid of the kettle. Although her job was very demanding, she had made all morning chores a point of duty before she leaves the house every morning, afterall what more could wish for? she had the most caring and reasonable husband in the world and God in his infinite mercy had blessed her with a set of intelligent twins.
Jane snapped out of her thoughts and proceeded to the twins room. Her husband was out on a business trip and she had had asked for a leave from the company she worked for.
"Rob, Dave wake up, you are running late for school" Jane voiced out as she opened the door.
"We are awake mum, we've just decided to skip school today" The twins said in unison.
What do you mean? Jane asked rhetorically. I thought you guys loved going to school.
"Yes, we do" Rob replied. We are not just interested in going today, besides we are still contemplating on whether we should dropout or not.
"Dropout!! You can't be serious" Jane exclaimed. To become anything in this world, your education is the most paramount factor.
"That is what you said, but there are lots of important people in this world that dropped out of school" Dave replied smiling.
"Because I'm your mother, you people will do what I want. Now get up and prepare for school" Jane said angrily.
"Well, our fundamental rights gives us the right to personal Liberty"
How old are you? Jane asked.
"We are ten years old" the twins answered.
"Good, now get into the bathroom before I lose my temper. Most of the articles in the Constitution does not apply to you until you are eighteen years of age" Jane pointed out before she left the room.
