One day a few months back, Lil Mister was visiting with
Ouma. It has taken me a few trips to get used to this but over the last 8
months (since he spent his first overnight with Ouma), I have adjusted and
learnt how special this time is for them.
After this particular visit, Ma came along to bring Lil
Mister back. We were sitting outside enjoying coffee when she shared what was
to me quite an amusing story!
Where Ma stays she has a friend whom she had taken Lil
Mister to have coffee with. While there the friend kept, well for Lil Mister,
pestering him. To the friend, she was simply being a Tannie. She had offered
him cool drink and sweeties and asked him if he wanted to play this or watch
that. Lil Mister sat however with a scowled expression on his face, saying no thank you, crossing
his arms and shaking his head.
