D*mn that Dung!

Warning: Please don't read this if you have a weak tummy. You might find this slightly gross.

Nanay (My Mother) has a male cousin of my age and we're neighbors. We used to go to school together, play together.. simply put, we're buddies. Sometimes, I think we're the best of buddies back then.

I was really small when I was young and I am still up til now :) while he was strong and agile being a boy.

One noontime, he wanted to play with me to their house so he picked me up at home. I love piggy back ride so I did to him on the way to their place. It was fairly a good distance of 100 meters but we were loving every minute of it because we were playing on the way. If I remember it right, he was running.

In a remote area like ours, roads were not made concrete. It was just pure soil hardened by the people's everyday steps. There was a stone half burried and half visible at the middle of the road.. and a meter or two away from it was a fresh carabao dung.

We were gay and really having fun that my uncle was so oblivious with the stone projecting and accidentally tripped on it. He was flat on his tummy on the ground.

I was on his back, remember? And I might not really holding onto him tight that I slipped off his back and through his head then directed my head to the fresh carabao dung. Waaaaaa! The good thing was, it was just my front hair that was covered with dung.

Reality sinked in and I started to cry. My uncle just got some splash of the dung himself but he was alright... and I wasn't. Who would be?

We were not that far from our house and I think Nanay might have heard me crying that she hastily came to our rescue and brought the two of us to the river to wash off the dung. It is another blessing, living close to the river.

I can't remember now if we ended up playing in my uncle's house.

But after that incident, we were the subject of mockery in our group of crowd. They even composed a song for us and the incident which really mortified me.

Yet, looking back.. I find it funny and now that I've grown up (not that I've grown tall) the incident still came up at some point of our conversation when we met up and it made us laugh, particularly me.

Mitchteryosa and Arlene you might want to share your funniest childhood experience. :D
