Just putting this out there so one day you can brag to your kids that your godfather was Batman.
The life and times of Liam Marais, youngest son of Glenda and Henk Marais born on 27 October 2008. Brother of Dylan Marais - Big Brother. The title of his blog was altered to Just One Thing Dad on 24 Feb 2015 because this is his favourite counter argument for everything. If he stalls for time, argues a point, counters an argument, or just want to argue because he loves it - that's how it starts. Just one thing dad.

First time in an official school uniform
Being homeschooled all his life, except for those first 6 months, school uniforms have never been part of Master Liam's journey. Then Garsfontein Hoërskool were willing to take a chance on a homeschooler with big dreams starting 2026.
Today - 21 March 2026 - is the first away game when Garsies play Noordheuwel in Krugersdorp. And that means they must travel in school uniforms.
I will post his own words in the second picture. That is straight from his heart.
This young man is a very, very proud Garsie!

1st game for Hoërskool Garsfontein - 13 March 2026
Garsies was 7th in the top 50 school rugby rankings for 2025. So a top 10 rugby school in SA.
Today Master Liam experienced what so many youngsters only dream of.
A 26 to 19 win against Jeppe High School for boys. And a good game for our dude. Plus a bleeding nose and a rugby boot to the knee.
We are all proud of your commitment, dedication and hard work. A lot of sweat went into this day.
