Now two!

Dear Mark
So, here we are, another year later—and today’s your birthday. The second year was so much different than the first. You didn’t see daddy more often. By the time you turned one, you weren’t walking, much less doing more than crawling. But all that changed just before you turned 15 months—you became an Olympic speed crawler, and before we knew it you were walking, stretching your hand to reach for the TV, playing around with electric switches and getting into all kinds of trouble, including but not limited to bumping your head on the table and falling off from the sofa. I still can’t tell why standing on the sofa to reach the window was fun. The KCB’s Wafula and Koinet’s advert was your favorite. You were the baby who didn’t move a muscle—now you’re the toddler who won’t sit still.Funny how fast things change…

You know, I think of you many a times. I know that when you get older you are going to ask me what happened with our family now that you don’t see me more often as you’re supposed to. Well, I'm sorry; I still don't think the time is right for you to know the details. One of the things I have always done is honored your mother for you, just as she has done for me. Our problems remain our problems; and this is something that you will need to learn to accept over time. 

Kadaddy, you have always been the greatest gift my life has experienced. Your mother and I, regardless of our differences, always agreed that nothing good would come of putting you in the middle of our problems. I will always be grateful for that.

I am honored to be your father. I will always be here for you.

Happy birthday son

With Love and Respect,

Dad

Diary of a Side Chick - Makhwapheni Episode 5

You know there are things that you tell yourself you will never ever do. I never thought I'll ever let a lesbian see my punami. Now I believe when they say 'never say never'. I didn't even know how lesbians do it. My cousin told me they use toys. I always wondered why a girl would dump the real thing and opt for a toy. With all that has been happening to me lately, I wouldn't blame myself for doing what JT made me do. She made me stretch my legs a bit so she could have a full access to my nanana. She squeezed my butt with her hands and said 'ntwana, ezi ya gago e causa havoc" (Babe, you have a fine ass). Lol that almost cracked me, I guess it was her way of talking dirty. She was practically on her knees while her head was between my thighs like a piglet on her mom's breast. Her tongue was long and a bit thick so when she softly attacked my clitoris with it, I felt like a little kid after receiving a new toy from her father. I've been

Diary of a Side Chick - Makhwapheni Episode 1

Episode 1 My phone rang and when I noticed it was Sipho I picked it up so fast. He told me he just found that his wife of 7 years has been sleeping with her colleague for the past three months OMG!! What worries him more was she was pregnant and he wasn't sure if he's the father. I listened attentively as Sipho told me his problems. At some stage I thought he was gonna cry. I have known Sipho for quite some time. He was 10 years older than me but we became very good friends when I moved to Pretoria 2 years ago. We come from the same hood in Ga-Kgapane, Tzaneen in Limpopo. He was friends with my uncle when I was still a kid. He used to give me money and buy me presents because 'I was a cute and clever kid'. Whenever he was home he would pick me up at school...and my friends would be so jealous. My uncle always warned me that when my boobs grow he will never allow him 10 metres near me, Little he knew was I had a 'baby crush' on him. It happens to

Diary of a Side Chick - Makhwapheni Episode 2

I normally hate the F- word but at that moment it was the only word I could think of. I was panicking because I didn't know who was at the door trying to unlock. I mean, my roomie was in NW and she's the only person who has a key to our room. Men will only be dogs when coming to sex. Instead of getting off me he whispered "I won't be long. It will take only 10 seconds". Shit I was so annoyed at him at that moment. No wonder his Xhosa wife cheated on him. What kinda man comes within 10 seconds? I pushed him so hard he almost fell. Everything happened within seconds. I looked at the door and noticed my key was still in the keyhole, therefore the person trying to unlock won't succeed. I gave a sigh of relief. No one wants to be ambushed naked in the bedroom with a man, especially if that man is someone's husband. I asked who's at the door and Kea answered "Ke nna. Kopa o bule Shaz". WTF is Kea doing in Pretoria? She's supposed
