I have a 'serikali' not a 'dad'

On Father’s Day, I have seen fathers and dads being defined. I am not sure if there is a difference. I grew up admiring those kids who used dad. I found it cool. I believed all those kids were friends with their fathers. They had a good relationship, they played with their dads, chatted with them, ate on the same table with them, yet afforded to eat at their own pace, afforded to take water in-between bites, afforded to talk and swallow so easily!
