I live in an area where there are about 8 Somali families.
I was walking to the store and I saw young kids riding their Bicycles without helmets and other safety gear.
So i crossed the street and approached their parents and asked why they were letting their kids ride without helmets.
The man who looked like the father answers me and says Maxaa kaa galay.
I tried not to get mad infront of the kids and told this father kusheeg to walk with me a little further.
When we were out of earshot of the kids, i said to him, 'are u Axmaq, u are letting your kids play on the road without helmet and and don't care'.
Before he could say anything, i raised my voice again and said to him:
'Adeer, if I see your kids without helmet markaan suuqa kasoo noqdo, waa igu dhaar Police iyo Child services baan wacayaa, waana lagu xirayaa".
And then I walked away to goto the store. When I walked back 20 minutes later, the kids were inside the house.
Was i wrong for yelling at the father?
