Or try explaining that Mary's first name is not Virgin.
So what was Mary's first name and who was Jesus' Uncle? just in case the question pops up
@Mtublack; read the bible!
"THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE" - You can get the answer if you do a little research; that's the lesson
I remember when 8-4-4 was introduced, many urban parents complained that their children were being taught carpentry - "whose furniture will they all be making?" was a common question.
Then I explained to one couple that the idea is NOT to produce carpenters but to let the children realise how difficult it is to make a chair, or whatever. That way, they will gain respect for furniture and not jump on chairs etc. Yaani, UKIONA VYAELEA, VIMEUNDWA!
And there your are: I have just found a use for Kiswahili!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
