I went round to my friends house yesterday. Unbeknownst to me, she was having a family gathering. Although I wanted to run the other direction I didn’t want to be rude so I took a seat.
I regret this, as what I saw haunts me still. One of her lazy older relatives asked for faradhaq I had no idea what this meant until I saw my friend bringing back a bowl of soapy water. I sat as I witnessed these lazy Neanderthals all take a turn in washing their dirty hands in the same water.
Apparently this is a norm. This is one step away from asking someone to wipe your ass. How on earth are Somali men this lazy that they can’t stand up and wash their own hands. Someone in a wheelchair wouldn’t demand this. I’m ashamed to be a Somali man.
