Bystand | OLGA SE OKSELTJIES

Ek is ‘n ma. Ek is altyd op bystand. Vir die hond, die kat, die hadida’s om nou nie eers Homer en die kinders (almal het reeds die huis verlaat) te noem nie. Ma’s weet dit. Ons is gewoond daaraan.
Dan gaan jy nou in die werkplek uit en daar is mos ‘n stelsel vir alles in plek. Een daarvan is bystand. Homer werk in ‘n ander dorp sowat 140km weg. Hy is elke derde naweek op bystanddiens. Dan kom hy nie huis toe nie, dan bly hy in die dorp waar hy werk sodat hy beskikbaar is wanneer hy by die werk nodig sou wees. Ai, tog, hy was nog nooit ‘n naweek tuis sonder dat die werk hom gebel het nie. Nou nie dat ek kla nie. Dan weer, hy kry nie oortyd betaling nie, so dalk moet ek kla. Lank en hard. Dikwels lui die telefoon in die nag, dikwels het hy al soos in dadelik na aankoms teruggery werk toe en dan eers dae later vir ‘n tydperk langer as agt ure na sy lêplek teruggekeer. Ek praat onder korreksie, maar ek dink hy kry wel ‘n bystandtoelaag. Wat beteken hy moet beskikbaar wees wanneer hy wel op bystanddiens is. Hy is. Hy is ook beskikbaar self wanneer hy nie op bystanddiens is nie. Soos die naweek.
As ek nou gaan sê hy het al ses oproepe gekry en twaalf gemaak sedert hy Vrydagaand tuis gekom het, sal dit ‘n beskeie raai skatting wees. Die helfte van die twaalf oproepe na dieselfde persoon. Die mens wie op bystand is. Die mens wie altyd die eerste oproep antwoord en dan oppad werk toe is. Maar natuurlik nie daar uitgekom het nie.
Dis sulke kere dat mans seker uitvind hoe ma’s op bystand voel. Ekskuus. Ma’s is nie regtig op bystand nie, ons bly aan diens. Of dit nou ‘n sms, bbm, W/A, oproep of sommer net die stem uit die kombuis is, as jy geroep word, dan gaan jy, of hoe? Net as jy ‘n ma is.
Gedagte van die dag: Sterkte aan almal op bystand.
‘n Paar vir Klip	Lekker lekker.

Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the
table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He found her lounging in the bedroom,
still curled in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
She answered, “Well, today I didn’t do it.

Ek verstaan beide…. ‘n man wat af en toe huistoe kom, en ‘n ma aan diens en ‘n oor wat bereid is om na al die “wow is me” van die lewe te luister.

Sharon simply smiled, lit up a cigarette, and while exhaling said, “My lawyer.”

“Mum, teacher was asking me today if I have any brothers or sisters who will be coming to school.”
“That’s nice of her to take such an interest, dear. What did she say when you told her you are the only child?”

“Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely.
“Then he used his walkie – talkie to radio headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.”

“Offer someone a helping hand,” said the little girl, “…and they screw you every time!”

Attention Children – The Bathroom Door is Closed!
Do not go running back to the phone yelling “She’s in the BATHROOM!”
