MADE IN AZANIA/SOUTH AFRICA: NEW CERTIFICATES FOR LEARNING TO WALK!




Why are there no certificates, graduation ceremonies and fanfare following the feat in learning to walk?


Life must be really unfair as, three months ago, all Miss Tamara Sibusisiwe Phiri (then 14months old---December 2011) had to show for her new success in mobility is a mere video clip, despite all the prior and largely unrecorded knocks and bruises she naturally had to endure towards her final locomotive and very bipedal achievement.


I read on the biography of Soviet Founder Vladimir Illyich Lenin (the co-founder of the communist theory: Marxism-Leninism), that children with large heads tend to delay walking... 


OK, MAYBE I should quickly confess that MABYE I am not the one who gave a baby girl a large head!








Who will want an intellectual giantess for a wife twenty to thirty years from now? Easy to find the solution out of this! I am just going to blame the mother for this big head.  Whether by hook or crook, I want my cows, my dowry, my mahali and my lobola before young insecure men with the purse run away much in advance for fear of being hen-pecked one day!

I am bouncing the ball somewhere else because, indeed, I am not response-a-ball for this big-headedness!

her mother's birthday
(Between the two of them, they have to account for the
real reason why Tamara took an eon before learning to walk!)
My genes cannot be to blame!

  5. Asante!

    Lakini wataalamu wanasema kuwahi au kuchelewa kwa mtoto katika mambo hayo haina maana yoyote: kila mtu kwa mwendo wake!

    Hata hivyo, wacha niulize: vipi ukubwa wa vichwa kwa watoto wako, maana yake Tamara amezidi. Hata mimi hapo utotoni mwangu walinitania eti kichwa changu kikubwa.


    Sasa utakuja kusoma pahala kwamba huyo Vladimir Lenin wa Urusi alichelewa sana naye kujifunza kutembea eti kwasababu alikuwa na babu-kubwa la bichwa liliomyumba-yumbisha kila alipotaka kutumia miguu yake.

    Sasa nami sijui.

    Asante, Da' Mija Shija Sayi!
