School holidays! I humbly ask all of you as fellow Namibians, out of love and care for all. Let\u2019s not drink and drive or eat any hot cross buns on the road this weekend. Let\u2019s not use Jesus as an excuse to eat these things, mohana mo\u2019road blocka sowaar moenie kanse vat nie.<br \/>\nMay God bless all of us richly this weekend; let\u2019s celebrate E<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">aster with the humility afforded to us by SOMEONE who gave up his life for all of us in the world.<br \/>\nNow, as we speak&#8230; I\u2019m in Swakop at the moment\u2026 just needed to break away from the hustle in Windhoek&#8230; driving over 120km per day dropping kids at school, go to office, drive around for meetings, pick up kids from school, drop them off&#8230; pick them up for soccer, tennis, klavier and God knows watse k*k ook nog.<br \/>\nIf you happen to see me drive around in Swakop, please\u2026 kom moer my&#8230; because I promised myself I am not moving an inch out the house from here in Swakop.<br \/>\nThe problem is, school holidays bring another dilemma in our daily lives\u2026 esses man. Oh sorry, more than one dilemma!<br \/>\nMevrou would call me every two hours from house&#8230; \u201cLuister, die brood is klaar, bring twee stene saam!\u201d<br \/>\nDie bloed! Are these kids serious huh!?<br \/>\n\u201cJa maar my man jy moet verstaan.\u201d<br \/>\nThe kids are running around all day&#8230; they come home\u2026 refuse to drink water, grab the Oros\u2026 gulp it down then they are off again.<br \/>\nNot long in the holiday these kids come with those three words that every parent dreads who don\u2019t live in die lokasie\u2026 \u201cDaddy I\u2019m bored.\u201d<br \/>\nHuh, what the hell do you mean?<br \/>\n\u201cNo daddy, the holiday is long&#8230; I don\u2019t know what to do with myself any more&#8230; Can we go to the go-carts later please?<br \/>\nIs die f*kken kinders mal huh? Do they have any idea what things cost these days? The problem with our kids is&#8230; We\u2019re living in the so-called more affluent areas of Windhoek now\u2026 with white neigbours. White kids kamma play different games on a daily basis\u2026my f*k\u2026<br \/>\nToday for example they play Lego toys, tomorrow, they build sand castles, the next day they play 30 seconds&#8230; en al daai k*k\u2026 My kids don\u2019t have do shit like that. They can\u2019t play themes, so when my kids go over there ou Japie would tell him: \u201cNee ou maat, ons het gister playstation gespeel, vandag bou ons sand kastele.\u201d He comes back bosbef*k.<br \/>\n\u201cJa daddy, can we go to Maerua Mall&#8230; I want to go trampoline jumping?\u201d<br \/>\nWhen I come back from Swakop, I will moer these kids to my mother\u2019s house in Katutura. What happened to our society, our kids can\u2019t be by themselves anymore? Kids must learn how we kept ourselves busy during the long holidays of May-June.<br \/>\nDraadkarretjies \u2013 This does not translate in English, I love this.<br \/>\nTyre stoot \u2013 Put two broom sticks on both sides of the tyre, throw water in the base of the tyre&#8230; Vrrrrpaaaa\u2026 your own GTI Golf!<br \/>\nDokter-Dokter &#8211; My favorite game&#8230; I preferred to be the doctor, my consultancy room was daai ou Ford Cortina oorkant onse huis by die tiep. Nuff said!<br \/>\nLet\u2019s pray for this holiday to come to an end asseblief\u2026 My budget is moer toe!<br \/>\nHappy Easter to you all.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"fbPhotoSnowliftCTMButton\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"fbPhotoSnowliftProductMiniListHscroll\" class=\"fbCommerceProductMiniListHscroll\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"fbPhotoSnowliftProductTags\" class=\"fbPhotoProductTags\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ja mense, it\u2019s that time of the year again.
