Me:Molweni(hey everyone)
Mom:nyonweni we have been waiting for you why are you late
Akhona:mom look at her she's so disrespectful kdala kuthwe makuziwe endlini yena ufika ngok(we were summoned to come home a long time ago but she's only arriving now)
Ayamkela:just look at her thinking she's better than us awuyo nkosazana besilandelelana nawe(you're not a princess for us to be following you around)
Me:the problem is that some of us have jobs that need us I have important things to do than to be here and listen to you rant marniie
Dad:voetsek ucinga uthetha naban akukho kwakho apha rhaa hlala phantsi( who do you think you're talking to where do you think this is sit down)

Mom:ayina mbeko lento tata argh andazi noba ndandikusaphi klomhlaba wena(she's disrespectful my husband argh I don't even know why I gave birth to you)
Bandile:don't talk to her like that mama...now let's talk about why we are here dad
They all got quiet if there's someone they listen to in this house it's definitely Bandile I don't know if they are scared of him or what
Dad:okay I'll talk my son my company is going bankrupt and now I need investors to bring it to it's normal state and if I don't get those investors I'll lose my company and I cant have that so there's an investor however there's a catch in order for him to actually invest in my company and that is if I marry one of my daughters to his eldest son...
Akhona:who is it going to be dad?
Ayamkela:who is it going to be dad?
They both say simultaneously and I internally roll my eyes they are all smiles because I'm sure all they are thinking about is the money...great argh
Dad:uhmm...
Siyo:dad you know that we need to go right?why are you stalling because I'm sure its going to be one of those two right it can never be Yaya
Well Bandile and Siyo call me Yaya along with Ndalo and I love it....it is only them that calls me that
Dad:well that's the thing nyana(son) it's not going to be my princesses it will be this disrespectful sister of yours Yamihle that will marry into that family.....
