A lady recently shared a lighthearted exchange with her African dad, who, in a delightful twist, is currently a student preparing for his upcoming exams.
The clip shows how she walked in on her dad casually scrolling through his mobile phone while studying and seized the opportunity to playfully tease him.
She gently scolded him for not concentrating on his books and asked him to put away his mobile phone, mirroring what African parents have told their children over the years.
The lady took on the parental role while her dad sheepishly grinned like a teenager who had been caught doing something wrong.
After she scolded him, she told her audience,
“You can see that he’s reading now. You can see that it’s spare the rod and do what spoil the parent.”
Netizens quickly agreed with her video, lamenting the difficulties that children had raising their parents. They also gave her advice on how to better discipline her parents.
