Hāpai nā makuahine pōpoki i kā lākou pēpē ma ka hopu ʻana i ka hulu ma ko lākou ʻāʻī me ko lākou waha a hāpai i kā lākou mau keiki liʻiliʻi i luna - akā i kekahi manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka poʻe e ʻohi ana i kā lākou mau pōpoki ma ka hulu ʻāʻī. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke kumu he manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole kēia ma aneʻi.
No ke aha ka nui o ka poʻe e hāpai i kā lākou mau pōpoki ma ka hulu ʻāʻī e hoʻomaopopo mua ʻia: Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i kēia ʻano i loko o kahi pōpoki a me kāna pipi. Eia kekahi, ua wehe ka ʻili ma ka ʻāʻī. No laila hiki iā ʻoe ke komo i laila a hoʻohana i ka hulu ʻāʻī e like me ka lima.
Akā, ʻaʻole ka pōpoki he ʻeke lima. A ʻo ia ke kumu ʻaʻole ʻoe e hāpai iā lākou e like me ia. Hiki ke pilikia kēia, ʻoi aku ka nui me nā pōpoki makua.
ʻIke maoli nā makuahine pōpoki i kahi a me ka paʻa e hiki ai iā lākou ke "hopu" i ka ʻāʻī o kā lākou mau pōpoki. Eia kekahi, māmā loa nā pōpoki liʻiliʻi. A ma o kekahi reflex, lilo loa kou kino i keia kulana. ʻO ia hoʻi, hiki i nā makuahine ke lawe maʻalahi i kā lākou keiki i nā wahi āpau inā he liʻiliʻi a nāwaliwali lākou e hele.
No ke aha e pilikia ai ka paʻa ʻana ma ka ʻāʻī
I nā kitty makua, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hoʻoulu kēia i ke kaumaha a me ka ʻeha paha. No laila, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha ka hana ʻino ʻana o kekahi mau pōpoki i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "scruffing" ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania.
"ʻO ka hopu ʻana i ka pōpoki ma ka hulu ma kona ʻāʻī ʻaʻole ia ke ala mahalo a kūpono paha e mālama ai i kāu pōpoki," wehewehe ʻo Anita Kelsey, he loea i ka hana pōpoki.
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa wale nō: inā pono ʻoe e hoʻopaʻa koke i kāu pōpoki i kekahi mau kūlana, ʻo ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka hulu ʻāʻī ʻo ia ka hopena wikiwiki a maikaʻi ʻole. Akā ʻaʻole inā makemake ʻoe e ʻaʻahu a paʻa paha iā lākou ma ke ʻano maʻamau.
A i ʻole, hiki i nā pōpoki ke manaʻo wikiwiki loa ke ʻaʻahu ʻoe iā lākou e like me kēia. No lākou, ʻaʻole i manaʻo maikaʻi kēia kūlana! Eia kekahi, aia ke kaumaha o kona kino holoʻokoʻa ma ka hulu ʻāʻī. A ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu wale ia, hiki ke ʻeha pū kekahi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻino i nā ʻiʻo a me nā ʻiʻo pili i ka ʻāʻī.
ʻAʻohe mea kupanaha no ka hakakā ʻana o kekahi mau pōpoki me ka nahu a me ka ʻakaʻaka.
Ma kahi o ka hulu ʻāʻī: Penei ʻoe e ʻaʻahu ai i kāu pōpoki
Akā, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā ala e ʻohi ai i kāu pōpoki. ʻO ka mea maikaʻi e hana ai, ʻo ia ke kau ʻana i ka lima palahalaha ma lalo o kona umauma. ʻOiai ʻoe e hāpai ana iā ia i luna, kau ʻoe i kou lima ʻē aʻe ma lalo o kona poʻo a huki i ka pōpoki i kou umauma. No laila ua pale maikaʻi ʻia kou kua a hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe i kahi kūlana paʻa. ʻAʻole pono e paʻa loa kou paʻa ʻana, akā pono nō e hāʻawi i kahi paʻa maikaʻi e mālama pono ai i kāu pōpoki, ʻōlelo ʻia e nā kauka holoholona.
