I carried water on my head yesterday! My amayi was super impressed and immediately offered to take me to the borehole and let me carry some water. Not being an idiot, I refused. Well, actually, I said that I already had to do it again this morning so we could water our newly transplanted seedlings,
which was true. And I have/get to do it again tomorrow. My head was already sore this morning, so it’ll be interesting to see how it is tomorrow. I think I have a soft spot again. When I told my amayi, she asked if the bucket was a quarter or half full. But it was more than 3/4 full–and somebody has photographic evidence.
Are you saying that the weight crushed your skull?!?!?! You’re going to come home with a big flat head aren’t you?!
Congratulations on catching on to that so quickly. I can’t even carry a book on my head!
I cheated. I used my hands to balance the bucket. I believe the wonder that is running water will save me from a horribly misshapen head, thank god.
