Autumn has finally reached Durban, and since we have now moved up the hill to chilly Westville, for the 1st time ever, Anya can actually appreciate what Autumn means. Our garden now has a carpet of golden leaves. Very impressive!
So began a very Euro-centric explanation of Autumn: e.g. why trees lose their leaves; birds migrate to Africa and bears hibernate. I also explained why squirrels stockpile food over Autumn. My next question: what food do squirrels eat? Anya's answer: coconuts!!!
I think my kids are seriously culturally confused.....
