Daughter: I like snakes. I want to have one Mum: Snakes are dangerous, they can bite you and you can die if they are poisonous Daughter: Oh! OK. How about mummy snakes? Mum: They can also bite.. Daughter: How about Daddy snake? Mum: They also bite ... Daughter: How about granny snake? Mum: They also bite ... She sits down for a second and then asks again; Daughter: Does the granny snake have a cane? Mum: I don't think so. This is a true conversation between Dalitso and her mother after coming from plant sale show where she saw some snakes. Why granny snake have a cane question? I asked her, and she answered "so I can kill it if the snake try yo bite me". I sat down for a second and I laughed. Conversation with my daughter.
A little thoughts about being a father from my cranium cobweb.
