Must Read!! Extremely funny story!!
During their visit recently, one of our friends here in Zambia shared a story that I couldn't resist sharing with you. Now, let me set the scene.
Her and her young daughter were visiting some Zambian friends in Kalingalinga compound in Lusaka. Kalingalinga is like most other compounds. Housing is in brick buildings with metal sheet roofing. There is no running water. Some have electricity and some don't. And there is no indoor plumbing. Meaning you use the toilet in a pit latrine (hole in the ground). It is equal to one of the poorest and dirty environments in all of Africa.
Now, our friend (she'll remain nameless for protection ; )) was getting ready to leave from visiting one of their Zambian friends when her daughter told her that she had to go pee pee and couldn't hold it. She planned on just opening the door to the car to shield people from seeing her daughter and letting her pee beside the car. But her friend, being the gracious host that many Zambians are, offered to let her daughter use his family toilet. So, they headed back to his home and into the back where the pit latrine was located. As they entered, our friend picked her daughter up and just tried to hold her over the hole and let her do her business.
Immediately, after she started peeing, hundreds of flies began to fly out out of the hole. Her daughter began freaking out because there were so many. Then it happened. As our friend was trying to keep her daughter calm and saying consoling words, she accidently inhaled one of those flies coming from the depths of the pit latrine!!! That's when she began to freak out. As she explained it, she was running through a million different ways she could expel the fly and cleanse her tummy.
As she told the story, we were all dying laughing, including her. I know that everyone doesn't share our same potty humor, but I knew there would be a few who would appreciate this story. So, here it is, shared with you. Blessings ; )
