Yes, I know Afrikaans.

We were in Kloof street in CT a few weeks back to get pizzas. The pizza place is across the road from Jan van Riebeeck primary. As we were getting out of the car, Thomas caught sight of their wonderful playground.

I told him that his friend’s big boet goes there and that she will probably end up going there as well.

Thomas: “Mama, I also want to come to this school.”

Me: “It’s an Afrikaans school, Beeb. You don’t know Afrikaans.”

Thomas: “Mama, but I do know Afrikaans.”

Me: “You do?”

Thomas: “Yes, I can say banana.”

DH and I stoppped just short of rolling on the pavement, we laughed so much and so hard. People must’ve thought we’re having a breakdown.

“God is busy busy”

Thomas and I are at home today because he has an appointment at the dentist.

We were lolling in bed and ne grabbed his kiddie Bible and asked me to read.

We read about the creation and we went through all seven days. Now the book is quite heavy and we were struggling to hold it up between the two of us.

As we get to the animals on land, in the sea and he air, he says the folllowing.

“Mama, God was busy busy, that’s why this book is so heavy,”

Yes my boy, that is exactly why the book is so heavy.
