THE HOUSE THAT FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH

 There was no love missing in our house, because there was no love left to miss.That was our secret. We were not sad. Sad would have been easier.In House 24, 2nd Street, Germiston - the Molefes were perfect.6:00 AM - Alarm. 6:15 AM - Mom in the kitchen. The sound of the spoon against the pot. Same pot. Same porridge. Every day for 7 years. 6:30 AM - Dad at the table. Phone brightness on his face. He nods at Mom. Mom nods back. That's their good morning. 6:45 AM - Me and Junior. We eat with the TV on mute. Mom says TV at breakfast rots your brain, so we watch the pictures move with no sound.No one shouts. No one throws plates. Our neighbors who scream at each other at night - they have more life than us.We just... live. We pay. We eat. We sleep. We repeat.Then Mrs. Khumalo gave us the project."Grade 4s, for Life Skills this week: Record 10 moments your family laughed together."I took my pink notebook home like it was gold.DAY 1 - Monday I wrote the date and waited. Dinner....

Love circles


A boyfriend visited the girlfriend on Friday for the weekend. He traveled from Pretoria to Nelspruit in Mpumalanga Province. He does not own a personal car so he used public transport. The girlfriend is the one driving. On arrival he was picked up during the day. The two went for shopping, all was well. When night time came they drove to News-cafe  in town. Its a high class restaurant where people go for drinks, food and passing time.They enjoyed themselves having a couple beers .This was their first time together.

At mid night they left going to the lady's home, where they were going to sleep and spent their weekend. They got home safely. The lady took the guy to the bedroom and let him sleep in bed while she takes a quick bath. When she come after bathing  the guy's cell phone rang. It was his other girlfriend calling on free vodacome night shift minutes. Its an hour per allocation from  midnight to 5:00 am. The guy is Sotho and the girl is Swathi. The brother didn't take into consideration that she may know Sisotho.

He spoke  in his mother language not knowing that the Swathi girl can hear Sotho. He said "hey i am at

my granny's place and its boring l cant wait to come back my wife l miss you now".  Hearing that the new Swathi girlfriend got pieced off. She became ballistic and stormed out of the bed to the dinning room.     Mean-while the guy carried on with his girlfriend on line. He finished after an hour and the angry girlfriend come back, they had an argument she wanted to chase him at the middle of the night. So because he is a stranger in the area he pleaded until she understood.They concluded that she will drop him off at the taxis to town and at 5:00 am and the relationship was over. The guy then said l thought you don't know Sotho.
