TAKING A BATH AND WASHING KIDS' HAIR DAY

Talking about washing and taking a bath… hehehe… Kak Jay teased me (and he always did!huh!) about my schedule of taking a bath. There was some period that I hated to touch water, cold! Even tough that only happened for two days, but probably he thought that I did that often. I swear, I missed my bathing schedule only for that two days…. And that because I didn't feel really good (excuses.. excuses… hahah!).. The rest of the days I always took a bath…. Once in a day. :P

By the way, we took a bath in Pendeta Albino's bathroom, and the bathroom's door can not be locked! It's challenging to take a bath like that =D, coz I was thrilled when I heard footsteps, and I'll be panic, if suddenly I heard someone," Who is in the bathroom?" at that time, I yelled ,"IT'S ME!" and add to myself, "don't you dare come closer!"

After I got home, my mother laughed to see me sooo dark, she said; "It's not because you got sun burn, but may be it's dirt that covers your body and make you darker.. How many time you take a bath?" then I replied," once a day." she amazed, coz at home, taking a bath is my hobby, at least I have to bath twice a day and I always spent more than 30 minutes in the bath room. She asked," Why? Lack of water?" uhm, I answered and blushed,"No, we have lots of water." My mother looked at me strangely," So why?" and I replied… " Because I'm very busy." hahahha…. :D

Anyway, there is another unforgettable story about taking a bath and washing hair. One day, when I prepared peace school materials, I saw Jucas (Juju) washing his hair in the pump in front of our place. May be the soap got in to his eyes; he cried "ouch! Ouch!" and tried to grab the bucket, but he couldn't find it, coz he closed his eyes so tight. Then I ran to him, took the bucket, and showered water to his face and cleaned up the bubble on his hair. I smelt something weird.

"Jucas! What is this? What you use to wash your hair?"
"It's Rinso, Kak!" he replied. What???? Rinso is a brand of detergent to wash clothes. He washed his hair with detergent? Omigosh!
"Wait up!" I ran inside my room, take some sachets of shampoo that I brought from my hometown, and then ran back to him,
"here! Re-wash your hair!" I poured the shampoo to his head, and helped him washed his hair again.
After finished with Jucas' hair, I saw some other kids lined up.
"What?" I asked.
"We wanna wash our hair too.." Lito,Ayang and Abitu replied together, while pointed the shampoo in my hand.
"Okay, here!" then I washed Lito's hair. Then Afo, the baldy kid came.
"What? You want too? But what for? You're baldy" I said
He just grinned.

And that day became washing kids' hair day, I gave them soap too, so they took a bath in that place…. It's funny to see them took a bath, coz they only put off their t shirt, applied soap to their body, and rinsed, it means their shorts were all wet.After finished, they used their t shirt as towels to dry their bodies, and they left, with those shorts wet! :D
