As a child I was brought up in a place which was subjected to seasonal flooding.
One of the sports we used to enjoy, as children, was to swim and bathe in flooded pools of water.
This could go on for hours until when we were all exhausted. It was real fun!
The back side of this game was that of poor sanitation because the place of play was very far from any lavatory.
At times one of the children would, out of pressure, empty his bowels in the water. This was with the hope that no one would know who has done it!
Once the contents of the bowels were noticed floating on top of the swimming area, we would all quickly come out the water denouncing the "son of a cow" who has done such a despicable act of barbarism and insanity !
On many occasions the culprit would not be known, as we all came out of the water "very clean".
However, suspicion of guilt was always pointed to the younger boys in the group.
This often resulted in heated arguments, and at times, fist fights would ensue amongst us.
On one fateful day soon after being forced out of the swimming area, a heated argument was going on and a fist fight was about to take place.
Suddenly, to our amazement, one of the boys started emptying his bowels on dry ground!
We later learned that he had a bout of diarrhoea as a result of over eating of mangoes the previous day.
Remember this.
Whilst the "Playing Ground" is wet for you it is easy to hide, but once it has dried out you will certainly be found out!
