Dad to the Rescue!

 I remember one Sunday afternoon as we were coming back from church.


My mom, my aunties and I were singing along to our favourite song when all of a sudden, we heard a muffled bang from outside the car.


It didn't seem like too much of a problem until we started to hear a thump! coming from outside the car. It wasn't a one-off sound, it was more like the sound was coming regularly from the car.


Thump! Thump! Thump!


Worried, my mom pulled over to the side of the road. It turned out that we had a flat tyre!


So all four of us came down from the car, high heels and all into the blistering heat of August.


The mood shifted from happy and cool to frustrated and hot really quick. 


Luckily mom called dad!


Fifteen minutes later, he was pulling up beside us with a car. We drove the car he brought home and he stayed behind with the busted tyre. 


Super Dad to the rescue.

The Copy Machine

  A big thank you to the lady who told me this story. She gave me a new view on babies thanks to an intriguing conversation. My little brother reached the stage that he copied everything that everyone said. As a result we were really, really, really careful. We once said poop in his presence and that comprised the majority of his vocabulary for one week! Back to the story. My mom always carried my brother with her to greet my dad whenever he came home from work. She always said "Welcome home honey" One day, as my dad came home, my brother broke free from my sister and I and ran up to our dad yelling "Honey! Honey! Honey!" at the top of his lungs. We were shocked. My mom was worried. My dad look faintly disturbed. How were we going to wean him off this?

The Sleepover Story

  'Mom, dad, can I sleepover at my friend's house next week?' 'Sleep-what? You can be with them all day, why do you need to sleep in their house? Why can't they come here?...' A lot more questions follow that. From the experience of teens, more often than not, parents believe that you should play out all day and come back to your house to sleep. It's not a bad philosophy.  You don't really lose out of not sleeping over at your friend's house. A huge pro is, when you are older, hopefully, you'll sleep in your own house most of the time, which is a great way to remain safe.
