I don't know for you guys but for us in Uganda Christmas is all about lots of food. It's a one day celebration and on 25th December it's a day of guaranteed meat. When I was young we only ate meat on Christmas as it was expensive so our parents couldn't provide it through out the year but made sure on Christmas atleast they can buy us a kilogram. So u can just imagine how Christmas was exciting for us. It's also the only day in a year we got a new cloth so meat and a new dress was just so perfect. I always enjoyed all the Christmases but there is this one I'll never forget when I was about six years old.
As usual it all started fun my new dress and lots of food. Me and my two brothers and four sisters shared a bedroom The eldest was about 12 the rest of us were young and I was the youngest in the room. I remember we ate alot and we even stole some pieces of meat to eat under the covers as we wear sleeping with a myth that we would still eat meat in our dreams if u slept chewing a piece lol. Any way I just ate Way too much and mixed all kinds of cold foods.
A few hours later everyone was sleeping. I was awaken by a sound in my stomach like something was moving at high speed. I don't know what time it was but it seemed late in the night now what I ate is backfiring I thought to my self. I really needed to use the toilet so badly and asap but the problem was we didn't have a toilet. We had a latrin which was across a field kinda far from home. It was late and I was scared to go out alone. I tried waking my sisters and brothers but no one wanted to be disturbed. Now I was stuck but couldn't hold my lose stomach any longer so I got an idea.
At the corner of our bedroom was a laundry basket where we used to keep family clean clothes including moms clothes and our new Christmas clothes we didn't want them washed to remove the new smell so after wearing them all of us kept them in the laundry basket and here i am with my lose stomach looking at that laundry basket as my way out. I couldn't hold any longer headed to the basket and removed half the clothes and pood in there then I covered with the remaining clothes then I went back to bed feeling relieved it felt like the best solution that night until morning came. My dear steem family I was awaken by slaps on my whole body by my siblings for pooing on there brand new clothes 😂😂 Boxing Day was real I got boxed for real. My mom and siblings made me wash a whole laundry basket of clothes for what I had done everyone wanted to swallow me. It's just a childhood memory my siblings keep reminding me of and we laugh so hard
