Grapjas

"Genade nee, sê my oupa toe vir my. Moenie vir hulle luister nie. Dis nie: van lekker lag kom lekker huil! Dis: van lekker lag kom lekker kry. Dan lag ons saam daaroor. Vroumense, sê hy, hulle hou van drama en snot en trane."

I'm sorry this cannot be translated into English. You cannot do justice to the expressions.
I particularly like the expression: snot en trane. It's so descriptive, so fabulously true.
