I was sleeping when my mother announced that she is going to work and Anele, my sibling, that he was going to his soccer practice. Guys, I couldn’t believe that I was going to be babysitting the worlds’ cutest children, but yet they are the worst trouble makers. Sandi, the youngest, cried when my mother left; the only thing I could do was to bribe him with ice cream and custard. Yeah, ice cream at 10:45 AM in the morning, then Tidi came and she demanded ice cream too, at the same time she added a condition ‘I want more than, Sandi’, says the worst girl in the world, weird thing is that it did work for a few minutes. But, I forgot one thing that when you give children sugar early their sugar level raises.
About 10 minutes after, Sandi, comes and looks at me and smiles, then he pointed his fingers at key; that reminded me of little man demanding a key from his adoptive parent (One of the Warner brothers). But, Sandi, still wanted the key, I tired to trick him by giving him different stuff, but he still pointed at the key. Then I gave him the key, guess what! he didn’t want it, so I did put the key away, but still young Sandi wanted the key. So I did what he claimed, then he walked with me and wanted me to open the door so that they can go outside. I refused, then Sandi cried his head off, it got worse every second and my head was about to burst into pieces. So, I took out my childhood stationed chair and table, it worked they were playing together. But again Sandi wanted to climb off the chair, I was clueless on what to do next, then suggestions were cramming up in my head, then Sandi’s evil twisted head came up with an idea, he attempted to jump, for that moment, my heart was pounding on and I didn’t know what to trick him with, so I adjusted the chair as the young boy did the honours by gently climbing off the chair/table. After that, they were running around the house screaming and jumping around turning our home into a ‘Daddy Day Care’ institute.
For those few moments I was about to scream, but I did not have the guts to do that because I knew they would laugh or scream and banging their big heads on the floor, so I relaxed by turning on the computer and then I played Usher’s latest album ‘Raymond Vs Raymond: Deluxe Edition’ to try and receive some inspiration but, Tidi, on the other hand was playing with water in the bathroom, and the floor was soaking wet. I ignored the situation, and I went straight to bed, funny thing, Sandi, followed me and he laid on my chest and he fell asleep it was the cutest moment I ever saw. Then, I dropped him gently on the bed, so I left to see what was, Tidi, doing; the poor girl was cleaning the mess she made and she hugged my leg and went to bed. But, what was I going to tell my mother about the custard, because there are a few droplets left, but she had to understand what I was dealing with.
One thing I learned on this mission was to be patient with children and they will do their bit, what I also heard at church was children are a gift from God and they cannot commit a sin, so we must not expect them to be perfect. So, God tested my patience with children and how could I handle that matter, I truly love Tidimalo and Sandiso they are the world to me, but they can truly rack a persons’ mood; but at the end they are just kids, this is my conclusion about children. So, If you have handful tips or embarrassing moments, be kind and share them on our email address, maybe I could pick out some good summaries and make a review on them, then I will post them here on this blog. (Please tell me: if I should keep on sharing tips and embarrassing moments!!! comment on that)
