Kora Musician Baba the Storyteller

Here’s one I used to share with my oldest daughter when she was a teenager:

“Restless Feet May Walk into a Snake Pit.”

Even though I may have been a staunch disciplinarian at times when my children were younger, I always made attempts to inject some form of humor into the mix. My oldest daughter had the habit of always rushing things, never taking her time. Even when she was but a child I used to find myself constantly repeating, “slow down, slow down.”

Whether or not the lessons have been learned, I’m not sure. I”m still too busy trying to learn the lessons that I was taught as a child.

“dooni dooni kononi be nyaga da!”
