Thank you to my friend, @Shoprite_SA, for this special birthday message. Even though Ts&Cs apply in our friendship, I will never STOP and Opt-out 🤣
It's the thought that counts!
There are levels to this life thing. Even today! You're married to one person, someone's married to 5. Levels!
Wait, those aren't levels. That's just being Zulu.
On a point of order, honourable members. I withdraw!
When you only had 3 TV channels and caught M-Net Open Time, someone had an M-Net decoder. Levels!
When you were your parents' human remote, changing channels and moving the Phillips Bunny arial for better signal, someone had a Sansui colour TV. Levels!
Yoh! We've come a long way from an era where finding change in a public phone meant a free game or two of Street Fighter or Pac-Man at your local cafe.
I imagined adopting a white kid and naming him Thapelo. Can you imagine a white Thapelo Thulare walking around with an accent from Soshanguve? Suburban bliss!
#WelcometoSouthAfrica
But, a black parent with a white kid is kinda wild. I'm sure the poor little girl was confused when I kept calling her Lerato. I just wanted to see the facial reactions of the other parents around us.
Moving to the suburbs is an extreme sport! There I was, at the circus for my son's birthday minding my own business. I couldn't understand why all the people (of all races) kept staring at me. It finally hit me! My son had invited a few friends and one was a little white girl.
Do you remember when Bday parties were as simple as your mom taking the 4-legged kitchen table, draping it with a white table cloth, sprinkling some choc eclaires and Smoothies on it? She'd top it off with a black forest cake with those red/green cherries on it.
