Sagas in my bathroom -

To hell with American Technology. This morning, I happily stepped into my bathroom to piga a ka shower lakini this American technology haribud a Jamaas day. I got into the bath, I was butt naked of course, and bent down to fiddle with these many gadgets that control the maji. Since we have the luxury of hot maji here in the US, of course my first instinct was to reach out for the red knob and twist it. Big mistake, the lever for controlling wether the maji will go to the shower, or the tap was set to the shower head, and since I love my showers in style, I had set the shower head to Jet( many shower heads have al kinds of levels..akina massage/gentle stream/Jet, etc). That stream of hot maji slapped my back and butt cheeks with passion, and of course, being the Kenyan I am, if anything hits your from behind, you simama haraka sana, so I was chomwad mbele too.. at this point I wasn't even thinking of turning off the water but getting the hell out of that shower. I charged through that shower curtain, like I was being chased by a thief, ripping it off its hinges, and chewing on part of it to keep in that scream I almost let out. I dressed up and headed straight for another 24 hr Kmart near home and bought a basin that could fit in my bathtub. Ehh, I am more comfortable with the squat and splash technology. I had quit it sometime back due to a mishap at shags. I was at an Uncle's place in shags and was ogaring in the bafu at night and for some funny reason, there was no elec in there so I had wekad one of those small lights that run on paraffin on the wooden frame by the window. If you remember those lights, they're made of kimbo tins, then there's a ka thread hanging from the end of the mkebe where you washa it. Since that wooden frame was the only level place in the bathroom ( there was no soap holder), I placed the soap right by the light. I assumed position and started working that maji across my back, then I reached for the soap, doused that rexxona all over me like there was no kesho, yanni, I was white in bubbles, then I figured out that I needed to put the soap back so that I could use both my hands to wash off the soap, and as you jua from home, when we were kids, the mboch always told us, " usifungueko macho kama sabuni iko kwa uso, utaua jicho". So I tried to blindly place the soap back, and knocked the light off the edge, and it squarely landed on my back, I rukad around screaming in that bathroom, terrified, and in pain too, plus the darkness freaked me out even more, and to add on to that, I could swear some flying insect flew into my ear. I managed to grab that basin's edges to blindly attempt to empty the water over my body, but in my temporary blindness, I missed, and poured the majiover my towel and the clothes I was going to change into. I groped around that ka bathroom, still covered in the soapy foam and rexxona scent, and grabbed a piece of cloth, which later turned out to be my undie, and jabbed my eyes till the soap was out. I then grabbed my towel, and wiped, and rinsed, wiped and rinsed, till I had no more soap on me, then chucked and ran to ask my Aunt to heat maji for me, coz of course, this is shagz bana, there was no hot maji, and the Ka Solar Panel which my uncle had on his roof ( and which had made him a ka celeb) never had any stored heated water coz it had been nyesharing in shags like for 1 week straight.
