The statement refers to both Flowers and Koro Apirana who are embroiled in one argument after another. Kahu is the subject of their arguments.While koro Apirana is on the offensive,Nani flowers emerges triumphant.

When Porourangi and Rehua are blessed with a baby girl as the first born an argument arises between Nani Flowers and Koro Apirana. Koro Apirana's indication of owning up is shown when he stomps out and rows out to the sea to sulk.He also remarks that nani flowers side is too strong.

Porourangi's suggestion to name the baby girl Kahu causes a heated argument between the old couple..Koro Apirana is against it,while Nani flowers is head over heel in agreement with Porourangis's proposal.

In the end the girl is given the name Kahu to which Koro seems to acquiesce when he remarks 'you stepped out of line.............you shouldn't have done it.

The proposal to have Kahu's birth cord buried in the on the marae causes another serious spat between Nani flowers and her husband,Koro Apirana.Koro opposes it, but Nani Flowers is fully in support of it.In the end,Koro Apirana succumbs when he tell Nani Flowers'Then you do it.
