Makhe sithethe ngelaphu elihle kakhulu, uya kufuna ukuthunga yonke into ngalo, into entsha oya kuyo kwiimpahla ezisebenzela abantwana, abantu abadala, kunye naye wonke umntu ophakathi. Ukusuka kubunzima bayo obulungelelaniswe ngononophelo ukuya kumxube wefiber yobuchule, kufana noothixo belaphu bahlala phantsi bathi, “Masenze into ejonga yonke ibhokisi.”
Okokuqala, oko165-170g/m²ubunzima? Ukugqibelela okunyulu. Ayincinci kakhulu, ayinzima kakhulu-imvakalelo nje elungeleleneyo, ephefumlayo eqhelana nexesha ngalinye lonyaka. Ehlotyeni, sisisindisi sobomi: bukhaphukhaphu ngokwaneleyo ukuvumela ubushushu bubaleke, ukuze abantwana bahlale bepholile nangexesha lemigama emide yebala lokudlala, kwaye abantu abadala bayayiphepha loo nto incangathi, “Ndifuna ukuyixobula le nto” emva kohambo lokuhamba. Ayilohlobo lwelaphu elibhityileyo elincamathela ngokungathandekiyo okanye elibonisa yonke imibimbi, nokuba-kukho ulwakhiwo olufihlakeleyo olugcina libukeka licocekile, nasemva kweeyure zokunxiba. Xa ukuwa kuqengqeleka, yibeke phantsi kwejezi okanye ijezi: incinci ngokwaneleyo ukunqanda isambuku kodwa ininzi ngokwaneleyo ukongeza isiseko esithambileyo. Kwaye ebusika? Yiqhoboshele phantsi kweedyasi okanye iilaphu ezishinyeneyo—umphezulu wayo ogudileyo utyibilika ngokuchasene namanye amalaphu, ukuze ungafumani “ukuncamathela okukruqulayo” okukruqulayo okanye ukugquma esinqeni. Lo ayingo “mmangaliso wexesha elinye”—lilaphu elitsala ubunzima balo (ngokoqobo) unyaka wonke.
Ngoku, makhe sijonge ngaphandleI-95% ye-polyester + 5% spandexdibanisa. I-polyester ifumana i-rap embi ngamanye amaxesha, kodwa apha? Yinkwenkwezi. Loo 95% izisa ukuqina abazali kunye nabantu abaxakekileyo abaya kuluvuyela: akusekho mingxuma emincinci kubantwana abarhuqa amadolo emgangathweni, akukho zihewu ezibhidekileyo emva kweveki yokunxitywa, kunye ne-zero ironing efunekayo. Uchithe ijusi kwihempe yomntwana? Yiphose kwindawo yokuhlambela-amabala aphakamisa ngokulula, kwaye aphume ekhangelekile njengemini owenze ngayo. Imibimbi? Zithi shwaka xa uzixhoma ukuze zome—akusayi kujijisana ngentsimbi ngaphambi kokuba siye esikolweni okanye kwiintlanganiso zakusasa. Ke kukho laa 5% spandex, esebenza ngasemva kwezigcawu ukongeza nje inani elichanekileyo lokolula. Kubantwana, oko kuthetha inkululeko yokunyuka, i-cartwheel, kwaye bahlale benqumle imilenze ngaphandle kweehempe zabo zikhwele okanye ibhulukhwe zigrumbe kwisisu sabo. Kwabantu abadala? Ngumahluko phakathi kwehempe evakala njengejacket ethe tye xa ufikelela kwishelufu ephezulu kunye naleyo ihamba nawe—nokuba uchwetheza edesikeni, uleqa umntwana oselula, okanye uhleli esofeni. Yolukile, kodwa hayi i-saggy-ngoko iimpahla zakho zigcina imilo yazo, nasemva kokugqoka ngokuphindaphindiweyo.
Kodwa eyona nto "wow"? Oko kuthungwa kwesilika-egudileyo. Beka iminwe yakho phezu kwayo, kwaye uya kuyifumana-ithambile, iphantse ipholile, kunye nokutyibilika okuthambileyo okuvakala kubunewunewu ngaphandle kokuxambulisana. Akukho kukrwempa, akukho macala arhabaxa-alungele abantwana abanolusu olubuthathaka (akusekho zikhalazo malunga "nehempe ezirhawuzelayo!") kunye nephupha kuye nabani na othiyileyo imvakalelo "encamathelayo" kwamanye amalaphu. Kukwanzima ngokumangalisayo: akukho zi-snags ezivela kwii-zippers ze-backpack, akukho pilisi ukusuka kwindawo yokudlala, kwaye akukho kuncipha kwiingqiniba okanye emadolweni-nasemva kweenyanga zokugqoka nzima. Abanini bezilwanyana ezifuywayo, vuyani: imisonto ekhululekileyo kunye nelanti? Kunzima. Igxotha i-fuzz njenge-pro, ke ihempe yakho emnyama ihlala imnyama, kwaye i-tie emhlophe yomntwana wakho ayijiki grey emva kokuhlamba kanye.
Yintoni onokuyenza ngayo? Umbuzo ongcono ngulo: yintoni ongenakuyenza? Eyabantwana: iiteyi ezidlamkileyo, iilokhwe eziphothiweyo ezingakhweliyo, iiyunifomu zesikolo ezihlala ixesha elide, okanye iipjama ezipholileyo ezingahlaliyo ebusuku. Kubantu abadala: amaqhosha athambileyo ahlala engenamibimbi ngexesha leentsuku ezinde, iiblawuzi ezimpompozayo ezinxiba phezulu okanye ezantsi, iimpahla zokuphumla ezithambileyo ezivakala ngathi ziyagonwa, okanye iibhatyi ezikhaphukhaphu zasentlakohlaza. Ngaba uyafuna ukuhambelana ne-mini-me yakho? Kuthatha idayi kunye nokuprintwa kakuhle-i-pastels, ii-neon ezinesibindi, iipateni ezintle-ngoko ke iimpahla zomzali nomntwana okanye iiseti ezihambelana nentsapho zibethwa ngumoya.
Eli laphu alikho nje “lilunge ngexabiso”—lilungile, ixesha. Luhlobo lokufumanisa okwenza ukuthunga kube mnandi kwakhona, kuba uyazi ukuba umphumo uya kukhangeleka, uzive umangalisa, kwaye uhlale ixesha elide kunendlela yenyanga. Nokuba ungumthungi onamava okanye oqalayo ukuchola inaliti okokuqala, eli laphu liya kukwenza ujongeke njengepro.
Sukulala kule. Nje ukuba uziva ugudile, jonga ololuleko, kwaye ubone ukuba luhlala njani? Uza kuthenga yonke imibala. Sithembe—igumbi losapho lwakho liya kukubulela.
