Dear Knowflakes,This is a true story Where i come from, we have been in a ravaging war for 20 years now, the rebel fighter is wicked and says he is insipred to kill by the holy spirit, he abducts children from ages 9-18, and older men and forces them as his recruites, he raids schools aducts the girls and makes them his wives. Its reported that he has 40 wives! But any way, in my mum's Village during the early years of the war, there was a raid one time, so everyone had too go sleep in the bushes to prevent from being abducted. This is funny but true---- that evening, mum had a bath with toilet soap the one which has a very strong scent here we called it Rexona. Hmmn.... while in the bush with many villagers including family, the scent of the soap stood out so loud, that the villagers ran away from her, saying the smell would give them away!!!!!! She finally ended up at a catholic mission and spent that night there, and since she is diabetic, she was airlifted to the capital city to stay with other realtives. We always share our memories with of the war!!!!! This one got us all rolling on the floor with laughter recently!!!!!!!!!!!! Thought i could share. IP: Logged |

Abo,Great story! It is amazing that things that are horrible at the time can be laughed at later. My kids & I often talk about family history that was aweful at the time, but much healing comes from the laughter. ------------------ "When the student is ready the teacher will appear" IP: Logged |
