Hi Chris, please keep me anonymous hey. I’ve got a 5year old son, and I honestly don’t know if I should laugh or cry. This boy is obsessed with General Mkhwanazi like, deep obsession!
He watches Mkhwanazi videos every single day, even the serious ones adults watch. He walks around saluting the mirror saying, “General Mkhwanazi reporting for duty, sir!”
He doesn’t even play with toys anymore he plays “arresting people.” My pots are now traffic cones, his teddy bears are “suspects,” and our cat is always “under investigation.” One time he handcuffed the poor cat with shoelaces and said, “You’re being detained for trespassing!”
The boy has turned the house into a police station. When someone knocks, he shouts, “No entry without a warrant!” and if I tell him to bath, he tells me, “Officers don’t take orders from civilians!”
But here’s the worst part, Chris he’s now policing me! The other day I dished food and gave him a smaller piece of meat. He looked me dead in the eyes and said, “You’re corrupt, Mama. You’re abusing your power and office !”
Now he says he’s going to open a case against me for “favoritism and misuse of resources.” When I told him to sleep early, he said, “You can’t silence the truth, Mama!”
He even made a “court” in the lounge using chairs. He said the fridge is the witness, the broom is the judge, and I must explain myself. The boy’s serious, Chris.
Last week he tried to fine me R10 for “talking while he’s on duty,” and when I laughed, he said, “You’re resisting arrest!”
Now he says when he grows up, he’ll be a policeman like Mkhwanazi and arrest his father for not paying maintenance, and me for being a “corrupt official.”
Chris, please tell me is this normal behaviour for a 5 year old?☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼 Or do I already have a future police commissioner living in my house? 🚓💙
