I believe that was code for &#8220;you stink and I don&#8217;t want you spreading dust all over the house&#8221;. I wanted to tell her I had taken a bath that morning before leaving OlKalou, but I realized she was not asking. She was simply stating what I needed to do, so, a second bath, in the same day was imminent. Unheard of but imminent. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I thought I better follow directions before I was &#8216;fumigated&#8217; for lice and ticks (ndaa na nguha). I also wanted to be in her good graces because I was going to spend the next one month with her and I did not want any bad reports being sent back to OlKalou. I was smarter than that.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" lang=\"en\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The water heater was in the kitchen. She filled a bucket with hot water and led me to the bathroom. She placed the bucket inside a huge white tub that looked like a feeding trough (muharati), gave me a towel and wash cloth and left me to take my bath. I had never seen a bathtub in my life and here I was standing beside one wondering what to do next.\u00a0 Where was I supposed to bath?\u00a0 I stood in that bathroom for the longest time, trying to figure out what to do. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Finally I thought to myself: since she put the bucket of water inside that muharati, I assumed that is where I was supposed to bath, hopefully. There were different kinds of soaps, the only familiar one being Cussons Imperial Leather Soap. That is the one I used, I did not touch the unfamiliar ones in bottles. The porcelain bathtub was so sleek especially with soapy water, I spent much of the time there holding onto the walls to avoid falling. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">That was quite an ordeal, but I survived.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Help showed me the bathroom and told me she will bring me hot water for bathing, &#8220;you must be tired from the long journey&#8221; she said.
