Karapu Lit: Tuatahi te Kai
Raleigh-Durham Nui, North Carolina
ANEI TE RŌPŪ e aroha ana ki ā rātou kai, e aroha ana hoki ki ā rātou pukapuka. Nō reira, he aha te mea pai atu i te whakakotahi i ngā mea e rua? Engari he raruraru iti—ko te kai te mea tuatahi... i ngā wā katoa.
Neke atu i te 10 tau kōrua e noho tahi ana—he nui te wai i raro i ngā piriti maha.
Ae, he nui ngā mea kua tupu. I tīmata mātou i te wā e rua tekau mā rima tau te pakeke—i te kura paerua, i ngā mahi tuatahi rānei. Mai i taua wā, kua pā mai ngā marena, ngā whānautanga, ngā whanaungatanga hou, ngā mahi hou—ko ētahi i te kāinga hei whaea, ko ētahi e hoki ana ki te mahi. He maha ngā huringa.
Kōrerotia mai te kai i te tuatahi.
Ka kai tuatahi mātou. Ka mauria mai e te katoa he rihi—ka rēhita ki tā mātou paetukutuku kia kore ai e tāruatia. I ētahi wā ka honoa e mātou ā mātou tahua ki ngā pukapuka:
Water for Elephants—kai hākori, tae atu ki ngā putea takitahi o te kānga pāpaka, te pīnati, me ētahi atu
Dracula—He keke Bloody Mary, he taro kāriki, me te keke whero weriweri te āhua he pekapeka!
E nga hoa aroha—he parāoa kānga, he ika, he rau kāpeti, me ētahi atu mea. I tangohia mai i te whakaaturanga hakari i roto i te pukapuka.
Food Food Tere—ngā momo hanga-kāinga o... aha atu, kai tere.
He aha tāu "Marama Ngāro o Poutū-te-rangi"? He pai te ahua.
Ko tā mātou tikanga tino pai tēnei. Ka whiriwhiria e mātou tētahi pūrākau "whodunit" mō ia Poutū-te-rangi. Engari kotahi anake te mema e whakaoti ana i te pukapuka. Māna mātou e kī ki te toenga o te hunga e mutu ai—i mua i te whakakitenga o ngā mea katoa. Ka pānui katoa mātou ki te wāhi mutu, ka tae ki te hui me ā mātou ariā mō te tangata nana i hara, me te take hoki. Ahakoa he pūrākau whakarihariha, he ngahau tonu.
Homai he whakaaro mō tāu i pānui ai.

Ngā kōrerorero pai rawa atu?
Ko ētahi pukapuka ēnei i arahi i ā mātou kōrero pai rawa atu:
- Moemoea Na Taku Matua i whakaaro ai mātou ki te nui o tō mātou hononga ki ō mātou iwi taketake.
- Te Ao Whanau Post ngā pātai e pā ana ki te aroha me te pono.
- Te pihoihoi nā te mea he raruraru whakapono, he raruraru matatika hoki.
- Life o Pi i ārahi i a tātou ki te whakaaroaro ki te whakapono me tōna tūranga i roto i ō tātou oranga.
- Tale Tamariki i arahina ki tētahi matapakinga pai mō te kaupapa wahine me te kaupapa matua.
- Tuhinga o mua—i kōrero mātou mō te tikanga o te hara.
Na kei reira Kai, Tata, Aroha—e kapi ana i ngā kaupapa katoa ka taea e koe te whakaaro!
He aha ngā mea e pouri ana koe?
I tino miharo Anna Karenina! He tokomaha o tātou e pouri ana i te mea he maha ngā wāhine o ngā tuhinga tawhito e ahua kore nei e taea te whakahaere i tō rātou aituā. Ka hinga rātou ki te aroha, kātahi ka whakaahua i ngā mea e toe ana hei mea e pā ana ki a rātou, he kare ā-roto kāore e taea te whakahaere. Ko ētahi o tātou e kite ana i tēnei i roto i ngā tuhinga o nāianei, pērā i Te Ao Whanau Post a Nga tamariki iti.
Ki tā Liz koinei te take e aroha ai ia Jane Eyre tino kaha. E tino pāngia ana a Mr. Rochester e te kukume a Jane, engari i whakatau tonu ia kia whakarērea ia, kātahi ka noho tahi anō me ia.
Ā, me pēhea rā ngā hui o waho?
He maha ā mātou mahi: ka haere mātou ki te tina, ki te kiriata rānei—ina koa mēnā he pukapuka i pānuihia e mātou. I haere mātou i tētahi haerenga roa ki te takutai moana i te mutunga wiki hei whakanui i tō mātou huritau 10, he mea e whakamahere ana mātou ki te mahi i ia tau.
He hui whakanui marena ohorere ā mātou, he hui whakanui pēpi hoki ina hoatu e mātou he pukapuka tamariki ki te whaea e hapu ana. I te marama o Tīhema, he pāti hararei mā ngā hoa rangatira me ngā tamariki, ina whakawhiti pukapuka arewhana mā mai i ā mātou whata pukapuka.
Kei a mātou te tuarua o ngā whakawhitiwhiti pukapuka mā ngā tamariki.
Me pēhea tāu whiriwhiri i ō pukapuka?
E whai ana mātou i tētahi huinga aratohu e toru:
- Ka whiriwhiria e mātou kia rua ngā pukapuka ia marama, kia māmā ake ai te whakarite i tā rātou pānui mā ngā māmā pukumahi.
- Ka whakawhitihia e mātou ā mātou kōwhiringa mā te whakarōpū i te rārangi mema.
- Kotahi te ture pakari a mātou: ki te whiriwhiri, me tae atu koe ki ngā hui e 3 o ngā hui e 4 kua hipa. He ahua uaua te āhua, engari kua tae mai ētahi mema ki ētahi hui, ka whiriwhiri i tētahi pukapuka, kātahi ka kore e tae mai i te wā i kōrerohia ai tā rātou pukapuka... ā, kāore rawa!
Nā, he aha tēnei āhuatanga mō Kevin Bacon? Kei roto ia i tō rōpū, he aha rānei?
Āe, kāo, he pai tēnā, engari.... Kua kimihia e mātou he hoa, he hoa o ngā hoa, ā, ko te nuinga o mātou i mōhio ki tētahi, ki ētahi, ki ētahi rānei, ki ētahi atu. Engari, ko Marina te rite ki te "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". I uru atu ia i te tau 2005, ā, he hononga motuhake tōna ki te nuinga o te rōpū—he whanaunga ia mā roto i ngā hoa noho, ngā hoa tāne, ngā hoa pai, ngā tuahine, ngā tungāne, ngā tāne, ngā hoa kāreti, ngā hoa mahi—me ētahi atu. Ka neke haere ia.
