Wonge Umhlambi Wakho
Kukho iintsuku ndiziva ngathi ndingumfuyi: Ndiphakama phambi kwelanga, ngaphambi kokuba igazi lifike kwii-lobes zangaphambili, kwaye into yokuqala endiyenzayo kukondla umhlambi. Iikati zigada njengoko ndinikezela ngengca yehagu kunye nepellets kwiihagu ezisithoba zomvundla emva koko umvundla. Emva kokumisa ngokukhawuleza ukwenza ikomityi yekofu ekhawulezileyo yekofu, ndinika iikati ukuba zibe ngunopopi wazo wokuqala wokutya okumanzi kwaye ndizijonge ukuze ziqiniseke ukuba akukho kubiwa okungako. Indlu yam iqhuba ishedyuli yokondla ephela nge-snack emanzi yeekati kunye ne-hay eninzi kubagxeki ngaphambi kokuba ndilale. Kudala ngaphambi kobhubhane kunye nasemva koko, ezi zithethe zibonelele ngesakhelo semeko yonke yosuku. Ewe kunjalo, kukho okungakumbi kunoko.
Andiphakami ngenxa yengxolo yomhlambi, okanye ikati elambileyo inyanzelisa ukupeyinta ubuso bam. Ndiphakama kuba ndizibophelele ekunyamekeleni ezi zinto ziphilayo zixhomekeke kum njengendawo yokuhlala, ukutya, amanzi… yonke into. Ngaphandle koko, bayinxalenye yosapho; Ndifuna baphumelele kwaye bonwabe ebomini. Kukho iintsuku ezinoburharha apho sithetha into enye bonke abazali bayithethile kubantwana babo, "Yinto entle ukuba umhle!" kodwa ngeentsuku ezinzima, uya kuziva ngathi unqina ufuna ukufikelela kwinto ethile. Iikati ziziva xa umntu edakumbile okanye egula (okanye eyaliwa) kwaye azama ukunceda. Amakati awazi ukuba athoba uxinzelelo lwegazi phantse ngephanyazo, kodwa ndicinga ukuba bayazi ukuba xa bejija isifuba sakho, iingxaki zakho zibonakala zingabalulekanga kangako.
Ndimele nditsho ukuba kulo nyaka uphelileyo, ngelixa sonke sihleli ekhaya sihlala sisoyika, ukungaqiniseki, kunye noloyiko olukhulu lokuphelelwa yiphepha langasese, ndonwabile ukuba ndabelana ngekhaya lam nezilwanyana zasekhaya ezili-13 kunye nabanye abantu abahlanu. Naphi na apho ndingena khona endlwini, andisoloko ndedwa. Unokuxelela umvundla iimfihlo zakho; abayi kukulinganisa. Unako ukuhleba amaphupha akho kwihagu ye-guinea kwaye baya kukujonga ngamehlo amakhulu. Kwaye ikati iya kuhlala ngokuzolileyo kunye nawe nokuba awunanto yakuthetha. Kulungile, ngamanye amaxesha iikati zinokuba ziijerks kwaye zikunike ijaji-y jonga kodwa ke uzame ukukuhlangula kwishawari. Andizukucebisa nabani na ukuba axhase indlu yabo njengam. Kwakungezonjongo zam. Khange sikwazi nje ukuthi hayi kwiimbacu ezingenayo enye indawo ezinokuya kuyo.
Xa iihagu zeguinea ezigugileyo zafika kwigumbi lam lokutyela kwisiqingatha esiphambili somphathi wemoto ukusukela kwiminyaka yee-70s, ndavusa isangqa sam kumzamo wokujonga ngokungqongqo. Zazikhangeleka njengezinto eziza kutsalwa ngumntwana omncinci, njengeetapile ezinamehlo amakhulu amnyama kunye neeseti ezimbini zemilenze yeentaka. Ndandizibona ukuba zindala kwaye ziludaka. Amagama abo nguCaramel kunye ne-PFU -ishort ye-Pink Fluffy Unicorn, le nto siyifumanayo xa ikomiti yesi-4, yesi-5 neyesi-6 ifika negama. Kwaye bacinga ukuba uyintombazana (ndiyakwazi ukubalisa, kodwa lelo libali elahlukileyo). Andililo irhamncwa, eyona nto ingamandla endinokuyithetha kukuba, "Yenza inkwenkwe ibakhathalele." Oko kwenzeka kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo. Andiqondi ukuba babuyela eklasini. Ukunyaniseka, bendingazi ukuba ndithini, kuba bendicinga ukuba umfazi wam kwaye ndavuma ukuba sele sinesilwanyana esaneleyo.
Sifumene ngabom iikati ezintathu kunye nomvundla. Isicwangciso sokuqala yayikukufumana iikati ezimbini. Owokuqala weza kuthi evela kummelwane omncinci wakhe wayeneempawu ezimbi kakhulu. Iikati ezimbini zesibini zeza xa ndafowunelwa kusithiwa intombi yethu yayimi kwindawo yolwamkelo iPetCo, ibambe inqina lekati eli-orenji ngapha kweebheyi liphindaphinda, "Ndiyayifuna le." Kwaye lekati elinamehlo amakhulu lalinomntakwabo oneendlebe ezinkulu, efihle ngasemva komntakwabo omncinci. Ewe ndithe, "Hayi, zithathe zombini." Umvundla wawuyimveliso yonyana wethu emi kwigumbi losapho ngamehlo anamanzi, ethembisa ukuyithanda, kwaye acoce emva kwayo kwaye ayikhame kwaye uya kufa ngaphandle kwalo mvundla uthile. Ubusika ngoku buhlala kanye apho wayemi khona, phantsi kweTV, ecaleni kweziko.
Asikaze sizisole ngezilwanyana zasekhaya ebesizicwangcisile kunye nabo bafika endlwini yethu ngethuba. Bangumthombo wothando rhoqo, ukuzonwabisa, uvelwano kunye nokunye okuninzi. Ubuncinci kube kanye ngeveki, unkosikazi wam undibhalela umfanekiso omnandi wayo nayiphi na indibaniselwano yeekati ezixhonyiweyo kunye nomnye wabantwana. Ukusuka kwigumbi elilandelayo. Ndingaba ngumncancisi wesilwanyana esifunekayo, kodwa ndingabanceda kakhulu ngokwenza into endibiza yona kancinci.
Mna nomfazi wam sasinezilwanyana zasekhaya ngokuqhubekayo ukususela ngaphambi kokuba sitshate. Babengabantwana bethu bokuqala, emva koko baba ngabahlobo bokuqala babantwana bethu. Ngoku, ngabantwana babantwana. Wonke umntu usana oluneentsana ezinoboya kuba lubuyisa uthando oluninzi. Izilwanyana zasekhaya zisinike uthando - zombini zinemiqathango kwaye zingenamiqathango- kwaye nganye yazo zijolise ekuqwalaselweni kwethu, kuthando nakwezemali. Uninzi lweentsuku, ndingathanda ukuchitha imali kumdaka wekati kunenye isikipa esihlakaniphile esiya kuthi siphele kumgangatho wabantwana bam ngeveki. Umvundla awufuni brace; Ufuna nje ingca kunye neenkuni zokugcina abagawuli bakhe besempilweni. Kwaye ngovuyo ndiyakukhuphela ibhegi eneeponti ezingama-25 zeginea kwigumbi lokutyela kuba yenza iihagu zehagu.
Enye yezinto ezimnandi ngokuba nezilwanyana zasekhaya kukwazi ukusebenzisa amagama anjenge 'binky' okanye 'popcorn' okanye 'snurgle' kwinkampani ephucukileyo. Xa umvundla uqokelela umyinge othile wolonwabo, uwukhulula ngokutsiba ngqo phezulu- binky! Oku kunokwenzeka nanini na: embindini wokubaleka, ngelixa usitya, nanini na. Kufana nokuba kwenzeka kubo. Iihagu zaseGuinea zenza okufanayo, kodwa yahlukile ngokwesiqhelo: iipopcorn. Ukubona ukuphuphuma kolonwabo olunje kuyamangalisa, kuba uyazi ukuba kunyanisekile. Iikati ziyakugquma okanye 'zenze iibhisikidi' kuwe xa ziziva zithembekile ngokupheleleyo kwaye zonwabile.
Kulawo agcina amanqaku ekhaya, ezo akhawunti kuphela zezilwanyana zasekhaya ezintandathu. Elinye iklasi lehagu lafika kwigumbi lokutyela emva konyaka. Igama lakhe nguCookie kwaye ujongeka njengomntwana osoloko emangalisiwe. Khange ahlale umntwana omncinci edolophini ixesha elide.
Kungekudala emva koko, abantu abaziimbacu bafika bahlala endlwini yethu. Asizukuzibala kwikholamu yezilwanyana zasekhaya kuba andizukuhlawula iindleko zabo zoogqirha bezilwanyana. Libali elide, kodwa ababini babahlobo bonyana wam bagxothwa endlwini yabo kwaye bafuna indawo yokuhlala kulo bhubhani. Njengoko ndixelela wonke umntu; ukuba kuye kwafuneka ukhethe abakwishumi elivisayo ukuba beze kuhlala endlwini yakho, aba baya kuba ngabona.
Omnye waba bantwana babini mtsha unesoka. Ungumntwana olungileyo, kodwa utya kakhulu. Kwaye uzisa elahlekileyo ekhaya! Ngobunye ubusuku ndeva kumnandi emazantsi. Andikwazi ukuyichaza ngenene i-ruckus kuba ayivakali ngaphandle kwesiqhelo. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba iqela lolutsha lubizwa ngokuba yiruckus, njengebubu leenyosi okanye iqela leenkawu. Ndalala kuyo, ndinekati okanye ezimbini ezibekwe emadolweni.
Ngentsasa, ndafumana enye ihagu yegumbi kwigumbi lokutyela, ngeli xesha lifakwe kwikheji esasiyisebenzisele ihamster esele isukile ngoku. Isoka lamfumana likhululekile epakini ngelixa lihamba nenja yalo. Wamzisa kwindawo yokuqala awayenokucinga ngayo ngezixhobo zokumtyisa. Ngeli nqanaba, ndandisele ndiyekile ukuzama ukubeka unyawo lwam phantsi. Amandongomane ayemhle kakhulu kwaye engqukuva. Wayenabantwana abahlanu, kwiiveki ezintathu kamva. Ndimele ndivume ukuba ukuzalwa kwakumangalisa. Ndikhe ndabona abantu bezalwa kwaye kubi kakhulu. Ipeanut ayenzanga sandi kuyo yonke inkqubo. Uqoqosho lwakhe lokuhamba lwalufana nomsitho weti. Umfazi wam wenzekile ukuva usana lokuqala lweveki (yenye yezandi ezenziwa ziihagu zeguinea) kwaye sonke sahlanganisana ukuze sibukele. Izihlandlo ezihlanu wakhangeleka engaqhelekanga ebusweni bakhe, wehla ezantsi, wakhupha usana ngamazinyo akhe. Ngokukhawuleza ucoce usana ngalunye ngokulandelelana emva koko wahlala phantsi ngokungathi bekusoloko kukho iikopi ezintlanu ezincangathi, ezinengxolo ezijikeleza zodwa. Kwakunjengomboniso womlingo. Ta-da! Shumi elinantathu!
Umlingo awuhlali, kodwa ubudlelwane benziwa xa usebenza kubo. Sichithe ixesha elininzi kulo nyaka uphelileyo sifunda ngobuntu kunye ne-idiosyncrasies yezilwanyana zasekhaya. Ikati enye iyakundisikelela xa ndithimla. Omnye uya kudlala umdlalo wokulanda kwaye owesithathu ukhetha ukulala ebhedini njengomntu. Emva kwemini nje ngaphambi kokuba bafumane isaladi, iihagu zaqala ukukrola okuvakala kanye njengephengwini. Umvundla ufuna (kwaye ufumane) ukubamba kubo bonke abadlulayo kwigumbi losapho, kodwa woyika xa ethatha. Emva kokufunda oku kunye nokunye okuninzi malunga nesilwanyana ngasinye sokwenza ukuba bodwa kube lula kubo bonke abantu abasendlwini. Ukuba uza kuzitywina endlwini, zitywinele isilwanyana sasekhaya, okanye 13. Banesizathu sokuphuma ebhedini kusasa, bonwabile ukufumana ixesha lakho nothando kwaye uhlawule ngomdla. Umnxeba wevidiyo sisixhobo esihle xa ungakwazi ukuba kunye nomhlobo, kodwa ukubamba isisu esifudunyezwe lilanga lekati sisixhobo esinokuvuselelwa. Hug umhlambi wakho kwaye ube nombulelo kubomi bakho. Ndiqinisekile ukuba banombulelo ukuba ukuwabo.
