For the Kid's sake
This mate of mine said that our young people can sing, dance and act and sew. He said many of our children will now try to become beauty queens and kings even models. What Fiji needs now is to show another side of these talented young men and women. We need to see them cooking home dinners and cleaning the house, making their bed and reading books, scrubbing the bathroom and washing the clothes.
My mate said it would benefit our children who think that the beauty queens and kings have perfect lives. And he wonders if Aiysha can be shown on Get Set cleaning her room and washing dishes and cooking. He said if we went just a little further we can teach our children that being superstars also includes being able to cook and clean and sew.
And he said, “Miss South Pacific will be the best person to get on our children’s show and tell the kids."
And you know what, sometimes I wonder what it would be like if my grog mates finished their schooling. Hey with the kind of things they think of.
