Born in Jamaica in the year 1981 to parents Iva and Vincent Hunter in little district called Lewis Store my childhood years are filled with fond memories. I began school at an early age since my mother was a teacher at Highgate Hall Age Primary in Highgate, St. Mary and I was drawn to music as my dad had a small sound system that would fill the air with Bob Marleys albums every Sunday evening after church. Successfully passing my Common Entrance Examination in 1992 I moved on to St. Mary High School then subsequently to Marymount Business College and pursued additional Business Courses. Read More...
Parenting Skills 101 - What is a GString?
I was not in the mood so I told him that its something you tie to a stove.
Son(sounding innocent): what do you use it for in the kitchen mom?
My reply under my breath amusing my self " to strain coconut"
Son: Then how comes I do not see you with any of them tied to the stove in the kitchen mom?
Shocked he heard, my reply with an attitude was " BECAUSE I use coconut powder and its already strained" and began to chuckle at my own joke.
In the middle of laughing my nine (9) year old daughter blurted out from the back seat " A gstring is an underwear with a string that leaves your butt cheeks exposed..mommy stop telling my brother foolishness please"
Oops
Then after a few seconds passed and it seems like my son processed the information he said " jeez Mom suppose when I get married I ended up saying to my wife , wife pass the gstring let me strain the coconut ? "
We all erupted in laughter..
*****
So I learnt another lesson that evening. Do not ever try to dismiss kids simple questions with silly answers,as your silly answers could significantly affect their future so always tell them the truth no matter how annoyed you may feel. Love my kids
