All hail African parents. They are legendary in their hardcore disciplinarian nature and savage responses that could hurt you more than a smack on your behinds or a hot slap in your face.
Mothers are notoriously religious, always playing victim and dramatic at any instance of rebellion or recklessness that undermines their hard work to differentiate you from the rest of the kids in the locality. Fathers, on the other hand, love to play moral cops scrutinizing your every move, forcefully weeding out any westernization signals in their homes, and shoving all pieces of advice down our throat. That moment when they back each other up in throwing a tantrum, hell breaks loose. But we love them anyway.
This new meme on Will Smith is our typical African parent tearing us to pieces with distasteful remarks in those full house random summons.
Introducing baes with tattoos, dreadlocks, and piercing can cost your legitimacy in the family.
“Yaani murasta? Umeona uniletee murasta ameshorwo shorwo kwa mikono kama devo woshipa? Na ako na midira kwa mapua. Huoni aibu wewe? Ni kiniua inataka, sindio? Unataka tu nikufe. Huyu ni mtoto wa nani sasa?” pic.twitter.com/X9S4PzFaj6
