Toddler’s word of the day ‘imali’ – mzansi in stitches

What is this new generation of toddlers? It seems as if they are now the new kings and queens of social media platforms.

I love seeing how parents are comfortable with letting their children enjoy their time as kids, but, I mostly love how they act like they are all the same age as their parents.

Every day I see a new video of a toddler that is going to get me rolling on the floor because they are either teasing the parent or saying something no one could think a toddler would say.

After the Zuluboy’s why uneslenda’ toddler, this one is now my new favourite. This baby girl is always out to kill me with laughter

As shared by her father on his Instagram page, Amari (toddler) was being asked what is the word of the day, when she responded with a serious face, “Imali [money].”

The father then asked, “Imali yenzeni? [what did money do]” She replied saying “Iyafuneka [it is needed].”

His father shared this video and wished her a happy birthday as she was turning 5.
