My parents are Buhlebendalo and Alakhe Ngcobo and I have 4 brothers 2 older Nkosenye 26 and Mthokozisi 24 and 2 younger Sabelo 15 and Sphephelo 12 you can imagine how overwhelming this is plus they are too overprotective for my liking













"Trrrr trrrrr trrrr" there goes my annoying alarm yoh I snooze it and continued sleeping after 10 minutes it went off again I did the same thing again and when it rang for the third time I decided to wake up... What don't judge me honestly I set 3 alarms the first one is to prepare me to wake up and the other two are to annoy to me until I wake up. I check the time and its 3h55. I wear my warm clothes which includes a skirt cause I am not allowed to wear pants I need go to the river to fetch water and by the time I come back its 4h15 I then boil water to bath by the fire whilst the water is boiling I go and sweep the yard after that I go to the outside kitchen to make umdoko for everyone by the time I am done it's 5h00. I then do my daily hygiene process. "Sabelo Sabelo marn vuka ndoda!!
Sabelo: yoh Thingo uyacika marn ekseni kangaka pho eix 5 minutes keh
Me: Sabelo ungangijwayele kabi mina vuka
Sabelo : [annoyed] Eix mxm
This boy yoh that time I still have to wake up the rascal Sphephelo who is not a morning person... I woke him up and as usual he threw a tantrum. Once they are done I dish up for everyone and took the food to their rooms I start with My parents food in a tray with milk and sugar on the side.
Me: [knocking] khokho
Them: Ngena!
Me: Sanibonani
Them: yebo
Me: ngin'lethele nangu umdoko
Baba : Siyabonga Ntombazana yami enhle
Me: Bye bye
When I get to the living room I find Sabelo and Sphephelo done so we decide to head for school we first take Sphephelo to school since he is in primary then we work 2km to our school we are 45 mins early.... I head to class find couples busy with their stuff I greet and sit down minutes later my best friend Thingolekababakhe arrives I know its weird but yah our names are the same or almost so we call each other Thi.
Thi: haybo Thi wa vele wa ba muncu ekseni kangaka
Me: hayi suka wena
