I ka wā e'ōpiopio ana nā keiki , e hoʻonoho iā lākou e noho ma kahiʻaina awakea aʻai wale i ka mea a mākou e kuke ai e manaʻo ai he hana nui. I ka wā e ulu ai lākou, hiki i ka maʻalahi ke hiki iā lākou e hele i ka papaʻaina a ulu paha ko lākou mau pā palahalaha, akā,ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī i ka loaʻaʻana o kekahi manawa i kēlā me kēia pō e hiki iā kākou ke noho i lalo i ka manawa like me nā papa hana paʻa.
Ma nā makahiki a me ka wā, he mau pilikia hou a me nā uku hou e pili ana i kaʻaina ahiahi o kaʻohana.
Akā, uaʻike wau i nā mea iʻikeʻia e nā mākua eʻoi loa aku ka weliweliʻo ka ho'āʻoʻana e hoʻoholo i ka mea e hana ai i kaʻaina ahiahi i kēlā me kēia pō me nā meaʻai a lākou e paʻa ai i ka hale kūʻai, i hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomākaukau koke aʻo nā mea a pau o kaʻohana. eʻai maoli nō ia.
No ke kōkuaʻana i nāʻohana e hauʻoli i nāʻahaʻainaʻohana i nā manawa a pau, ua hōʻea au i kahi polokalamu hoʻolālāʻai e hoʻomāmā ai i nāʻahaʻaina o kaʻohana. ʻO ka māmā maʻalahi i hoʻohanaʻia e nāʻumi o nāʻohana o kaʻohana ua hoʻoholoʻia ma nā papa hana hoʻolālā koho aʻu i aʻo ai mai koʻu makuahine, e like me ke kohoʻana i nā māhele liʻiliʻi i ka hopena pule, e hana ana i ka papa kūʻai kūʻai a me ka kūʻai aku i hoʻokahi wale nō i hoʻokahi pule. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua lawe wau i ke kikowaena o koʻu makuahine i loko o ka'ōnaehana pilikino me kahi polokalamu hoʻolālāʻainaʻohana i kapaʻiaʻo The Six O'Clock Scramble.
Loaʻa iāʻoe nā manawa i ka hana maʻalahi i kaʻahaʻaina i ka mea nui i kou home. Uaʻikeʻoe i keʻano nui o ka pilinaʻana me kouʻohana i kēlā me kēia lā e pili ana i kaʻaiʻai.
I kēia manawa, e hōʻoia ana ka noiʻi i ka mea āu iʻike mua ai. Uaʻikeʻia nāʻano he nui i ka wā eʻai pinepine ai nāʻohana i kaʻaina ahiahi:
Hoʻomaopopo nā keiki i ke kaumaha
Uaʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nāʻohana i kaʻaiʻana, e like me kaʻaiʻana i nā mea kanu
Loaʻa nā keiki i nā pilina kokoke me ko lākou mau mākua
ʻAʻole hiki i ka poʻe'ōpio ke komo i nā hana kūpono (e like me ka inu, nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā hana moe kolohe)
ʻO kēia mau mea a pau mai kahi mea maʻalahi e like me kaʻahaʻainaʻana i nā meaʻaina awakea, he mau manawa pume i kēlā me kēia pule.
I ka loaʻaʻana o kā mākou mau'ōpio i kaʻelemakule,ʻo keʻano nui o ka hoʻomaopopoʻana iaʻu, hiki iā lākou ke mālama i kaʻaina ahiahi i kēlā me kēia pule. ʻAʻole wale kēia e hāʻawi iā mākou i ka haha (i ka manawa e aʻo ai lākou i nā mākaukau hana kuʻuna) , akā, ua aʻoʻia iā lākou kekahi o nā mākau kumu waiwai loa o ka mālamaʻana iā lākou iho a me ka hopena o ko lākouʻohana ! ʻIke wau heʻoi aku ka maʻalahi loa o ka hanaʻana i kēia me ka hāʻawiʻana iā lākou i kēlā me kēia kohoʻana i ka meaʻai a lākou e makemake ai e hana i ka hoʻolālāʻana i ka papaʻaina a me ka hoʻonohonohoʻana i kaʻu papa mea kūʻai.
Eia kahi meaʻono e hiki i kāu mau keiki ke hana maʻalahi iā lākou no kaʻaina ahiahi. Hiki paha iā lākou ke hoʻolimalima i ka'āpala a me ka pīpīʻana i ka iʻa, a paha paha lākou e kau i kā lākou iho iho ma ka papa. Akā,ʻo ka hapa a lākou e makemake loa ai,ʻo ia ka hōʻoluʻolu a me ka hauʻoli o kaʻikeʻana eʻai ana kaʻohana i kahi mea a lākou i hoʻomākaukau ai mai ka hoʻomakaʻana a pau. (Hoʻonui, hoʻomaha o kaʻikeʻana he hoʻokahi wale nō pō, a lailaʻaʻole lākou e hana i ke kīʻaha.)
