Yes, that's what we call it: prodigal son's or daughter's walk.

Well it is not such a bad one: the anecdote associated with this school joke; which I must say originated from the boys...naturally, but the girls, equally naturally, prefered not to be refered to, or associated with anything that had to do with the returning walk of shame.

The Unction of the Spirit Christian Academy is an academy set in the serene, sluggish and evergreen outstretches of the midwestern city of Benin. Evergreen, that is , until the harsh heat of the harmattan sun turns up.
