The worst part is that it is not stated how fragile it is. I do dodge the responsibility of washing it. Or when the thread mistakenly burnout and fall inside the kerosene holder below. Fixing it is a herculean task.

Slippers, slap, knock don suffer for my body but the discipline helped shape us

The hardest part is putting it back without staining it after washing it. There was a particular day I had to rewash the globe like four times because this annoying black dust kept on staining it each time I tried fixing the globe back. I wan cry that day. grin

Knock ke? My mum doesn't give us to wash. She does it by herself cos she fears we'll break it. Thus, I never learned how to wash it

You have to remember to wash it after school and keep it to dry in readiness for using it at night.

My mum doesn't like to use it wet. The dripping water makes the lamp rust faster and alsoproduces more soot.

As for knock, make I no count am cheesy

My greatest fear was breaking the 'globe' as we called it then. Once I put it into water when it was very hot and it broke angry.

It reminds me of one local first aid treatment I received from my mum. I went to play football then came back with nail injury under my leg. My mum put hot knife inside coal fire, removed it put palm oil on it and place it on the spot of the injury. That was the longest period of my life, walai grin grin grin
