With all humility and am not being funny, i ain't necessarily a closest sort of guy to this buddy. There is a greatness about his person, which has to do with a kind heart , frankly I know one when I see such person. But his world is a bit in shambles because he is not ready to leave his old habits. Once in a while when we are together, you may be prompted to ask what binds us together? He's a real funny dude .He simply amazes me with ludicrous mentality.
Today, he is complaining about his teenage son, who apparently is a full time college student. Like most parents, he desires the best for his son, but he cannot understand why the 17 yrs old do not comply to common sense. Fact is Mr East Africana is not living an examplenary lifestyle to his son. How on earth can a father who drives home late every blessed day ( I remember my mama those days using often the phrase ''every blessed day'') at 1-2 am, drunk and staggering, desiring that his son should get home at least 7 p.m each day even while dad is stuffed up in a Pop in north lond., clearly he the Dad does the opposite?
As a mentor back in the day, it was easy for me to see that the Teen was a good lad in character. The lad frankly wanted a bit of inspiring leadership from his father. Mr African't
enjoys to re-affirm to his son that he 'll do a punch with him some day if he doesn't change his attitude. That's strange, isn't?
Firstly, the lad is gradually just finding out his identity in a mixed messaging conduct and culture of how to be an African as well as being British. Even these concepts are difficult to sort out by mature men and women who migrated here more than a triple decades ago. Not to speak of having a British African't dad which is as unstable as the British weather conditions, but desires a full-on impeccable decency from a 17 yr old son facing peer pressure and cross cultural conflict. Cross cultural CAT-a-strophy, cross cultural casualties. I beg to say , I don't get it !
