As some of you may know, not everyone here in Mexico has the luxuary of hot running water in their houses. We dont which is fine when its hot hot hot, but when it cools down a bit, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, not so good!
So hears a funny story from our first day in our new house.
I was emailing mum when suddenly I hear splashing water and screamng kids next door.
Turns out that its shower time! Today is quite cool as it has been raining a lot, so keep in mind, no hot showers.
The family next door do not have a proper bathroom with a shower in it at all. So they basically shower in the backyard from a bucket.
Tonight the dad is pouring a bucket of COLD water over the head of the first child while mum soaps him up. Dad moves on to the next kid and so on and so on for all the kids (theres heaps of them).
Once the kids are all wet and soaped up they are lined up in a row as though facing a firing squad while dad throws/pours COLD water over them again to rinse them off.
The poor kids are used to showering this way but because its much cooler the water is very cold for them and they were all screaming and yelling Nooooooooooo at the top of their voices.
All you could hear was " Nooooooooo Splash, ahhhhhhh. noooooooooo soap soap soap, ahhhhhhh, noooooooo, splah, splash, splash!!!"
It was quite funny to hear, but now as I contemplate my own nice COLD shower, the smile is wiped from my dust smeared face!
At least for me there is no bucket involved!!!
