Wonke umntu uyazi ukuba abantwana banamaphupha amakhulu nabaphuphayo. Phantse umntwana ngamnye wesibili uvela kunye nomhlobo okhohlisayo owamnceda enze izinto ezintsha kwaye anqobe izithintelo ezingaqhelekanga.
Kodwa abahlobo abanamaqhinga abaqhelangayo amaqhawe amahle. Zibophe izibilini zolu khetho olukrakra lwamabali okwenyaniso ngabantwana malunga nabahlobo bakho abayinyaniso ukuze uhlale wazi ukuba usabela njani "ekuzileni iqhawe elitsha lomntwana wakho."
1. Enye inkwenkwe yabatshela abazali bakhe ukuba umhlobo wakhe oyinyani "ungumntu ophangaleleyo" ohlala egumbini kunye nogogo nomkhulu.
Kwaye kwenzeka ukuba umntwana ukhumbule ngale nto kuphela xa ebuya kootatomkhulu. Bambuzwa ukuba umhlobo wakhe ubonakala njani, waphendula wathi umntu onobomi akabi ubuso.
2. Kodwa omnye umama wandixelela ukuba intombi yakhe eklasini yayinomhlobo uKelly.
UKelly wayesoloko ehleli esihlalweni sokugungqa ngeli xesha intombazana idlala, ukulala, njl. Emva kwexesha elithile, abazali baqala ukubukela ixesha elitsha loluhlu oluthi "I-Horror yase-Amityville," kwaye intombi yabo yaphuma yatsho kwintombazana enamehlo amnyama. Emva kwemizuzu embalwa wathi intombazana efile eluhlu lufana noKelly. Abazali babe neentloni, kuba abazange bakhumbule ukuba ngubani. Intombi yongezelela ukuba le ntombazana ehlala kwindawo yakhe.
3. Nantsi enye ibali eliqingqiweyo malunga nomhlobo oqhelanisayo. Enye inkwenkwe eneminyaka ezisixhenxe ubudala yayinomhlobo onobomi ngaye watshela unina.
Le nkwenkwe yamchaza njengomntu omdala osemhlophe eneendvuvu, owaza kudlala naye waza wabiza ngokuba ngumphathi. Umthetheli wamxelela loo nkwenkwe ukuba xa ekhula, kuya kufuneka abulale abantu abaza kuthiwa ngumthetheli. Le nkwenkwana yathi yakhala kwaye yamemeza kumthetheli, ithi akukho mntu uza kubulawa, kodwa umoya wodwa uthe uya kufumana ukubulala.
4. Abazali bomnye umfana bafumanisa ukuba kukho umhlobo kwigumbi lonyana wabo ohlala ekhoneni aze avele ebusuku ngohlobo olubomvu lwamehlo.
5. Kodwa omnye umfana uthi umntakwabo, umhlobo onobuxoki, uRoger uhlala etafileni yekhofi.
URoger unomfazi kunye nabantwana abali-9. Emva kwexesha elithile emva kokuphila kukaRoger ebomini bentsapho, le nkwenkwana yathi uRoger akasekho, ngenxa yokuba wabulala intsapho yakhe yonke.
6. Leli bali liphathelele intombazana eyatshela unina ukuba ubusuku bonke kuza kuye umntu, obeka umnqamlezo ebunzini lakhe.
Umama akazange amthathe ngokungathí sina amazwi entombi yakhe, ecinga ukuba yinto nje iphupha. Ngenye imini uninazala wayethumela iifoto zentsapho, kwaye xa intombazana encane yabona, yatsho enye indoda, ithi isondela kuye ebusuku. Kwavela ukuba ngulo utata owafa eminyakeni eyi-16 edlulileyo kwaye ngexesha lokuphila kwakhe wayehlala ebhaptizwa xa esemncinci.
7. Enye intombazana inamalungu amaninzi acinga ngoDidi noDodo.
Babengumhlobo ocingelayo, othe intombazana yayithetha ngobomi bakhe kwaye yadlala nabo. Xa le ntombazana yayineminyaka engama-3 ubudala, unina wafika egumbini lakhe ngethuba le ntombazana yayithetha ngetoni kunye nomhlobo wakhe. Umntwana uphonywe kwaye ngelizwi elibi wathi ububi buza. Umama wayenelisekile ngoko. Kwavela ukuba ngokwenene umntwana wayenomhlobo ogama lingu-Evil, kodwa wayemhle, intombazana nje yamnika igama elibi.
8. Kule ntsapho, omnye umfazi weza kule nkwenkwe ebusuku, owayegqoke ngengubo ebomvu.
Igama lakhe linguFrenny. Wahlabelela iillabies waza wajikeleza egumbini njengokungathi ebhukuda. Kwaye kwavela ukuba usapho lwaluhlobo oluthiwa nguFennie, owafa iminyaka emininzi edlulileyo. Wathandeka obomvu. Xa abazali babonisa imifanekiso yenkwenkwe kaFennie, umntwana wamqinisekisa ukuba nguye owayeza kuye ebusuku. Enye inkwenkwe yathi xa ngaphezu kukaFranny kukhona uYakobi, ogqoke njengesigqoko sokudlala-egumbini lomzalwana wakhe.
9. Kodwa aba bazali "bathukuthele intloko entloko." Unyana wabo omncinci wathi iingelosi zathetha naye. Ngenye imini, abazali bava le nkwenkwe ithi ayikwazi ukubulala, kuba nguyise kuphela.
Izihlobo ezikhohlisayo zinokuba nabantwana abaninzi. Kwaye kwenzeka nale nkwenkwana. Ngelinye ilanga unina wenkwenkwe wabuza apho abahlobo bakhe beye khona, apho umntwana waphendula ngokukhawuleza ukuba babe neengozi kwaye bafa.
Xa le nkwenkwe yayincinci kwaye ifunde ukuthetha, kwabakho isiganeko esenza wonke umntu abe nexhala. Ukudlala egumbini, wathatha inyundo yokudlala, wenyuka waya kuyise, owayelele embhedeni waza wancenga indlebe yakhe kwintetho yakhe yokuqala: "ukuphula intloko yakhe kumpapa".
11. Kwaye nali ibali lomfundisi omnye, othe wathetha ngenye nkwenkwe kumfana iminyaka emi-5. Utitshala wabuza umntwana ukuba uza kubhala ntoni ngaye. Le nkwenkwe yaphendula ukuba ibali liza kuba ngumhlobo oqinileyo uJack, oshonile ngokwenene.
12. Ngokutsho komnye umfana, udade wakhe uthetha nomvundla ogxekayo ebuntwaneni bakhe njengomntwana. Wayeyithwele kuyo yonke indawo.
Emva kokuba elele embhedeni egumbini lokuphumla, apho le nsizwa yayinguye. Emva kwexesha elithile, intombazana yaqhuma, yajonga umvundla waza yaqala ukumemeza ukuba ayikwazi ukwenza kwaye yayibi kakhulu. Umntakwabo wazama ukumnciphisa waza wammisa, kodwa akazange amkhathalele, ngoko le nkwenkwana yathatha umvundla wabuyela ekamelweni. Ukuhla waya kudadewabo, wabona ukuba wayelele ngokulala ngesitya.
13. Kule ntsapho, le nkwenkwana yayinomhlobo onobuxoki ogama linguTony Rijal, owayemde kwaye ekhulile.
Ngesinye isikhathi, abazali bebona ukuba le nkwenkwe yayikhala egumbini lakhe kwaye yaqonda ukuba uTony wayefile. Basabela ngokuqonda kwimeko kwaye bamngcwaba uTony kwibhokisi yebhokisi ebhokisini, begcina yonke imbeko kunye nemimiselo yomngcwabo.
14. Ibali lenzeke kwinkwenkwana enye ebuntwaneni bakhe. Kuye kwenzeka ukuba ebusuku wayeva amazwi ayehlala exoxa ngale nkwenkwana.
Emva koko bamcaphukisa ephupheni kwaye inkwenkwe yayibiza "abahlobo" abakhohlisayo-"abafana abavela ekhitshini." Xa le nkwenkwe yajika i-39, unyana wayo wathi uBen (umhlobo wamfana) watshela indlela uyise "engcolileyo" engumntwana. Ubaba wahleka, waza ke unyana wamxelela zonke iinkcukacha zobuntwaneni bakhe, waze wakhumbula "abafana abavela ekhishini." Le nkwenkwe yongezelela ukuba uyise uyiqhawe kuye, kwaye akukho namnye onokumbetha. Uyise wale nkwenkwe waphika amazwi kaBen, owaye waba ngumhlobo oqinileyo. Nangona kweso sikhashana ubaba wayecinga ukuba ubuyele ebuntwaneni waza wafumana uloyiko olushushu lomphefumlo.
