"Kukhona okuthile okujabulisa kakhulu nge-Funky Socks Day. Kusikhumbuza ukuthi ukwenza okuhle akufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi kuzwakale kunzima. Ngezinye izikhathi kubonakala kungamasokisi anemibala egqamile nokuhleka ekilasini. Ngezinye izikhathi kubonakala kungabantu abasiza izingane abangase bangalokothi bazibone, ngenxa nje yokuthi banakekela. Siyabonga kakhulu ku-PNA ngokuhamba nathi lolu hambo iminyaka emihlanu."
