In African homes, locking doors is traditionally considered unusual because family members typically do not lock doors, but as children mature and develop a need for personal privacy, they may start locking their doors, which can initially cause confusion and conflict with parents who are accustomed to the traditional open-door culture; however, understanding and respecting this growing need for privacy is essential for healthy family relationships.

>> Spoil. Okay. Nothing spoiled though.
>> And I even noticed that water is not coming out of my tap in the in the bedroom. I know what you are talking about. The pumping machine is actually weak. But so that it does not pack up, I have to call the plumber. You know what they say, eh? prevention is better than cure. So I call I call the plumber to come and off some pipe so that we can save some water in the house so we don't run out of water on time.
>> So what will I be using to flush? What will I use to have my bath? What will I use to brush MY TEETH? WHAT WILL I use to clean up after doing my business?
>> I had to ask the plumber to disconnect the pipe that passes water to your room so that we can have water to use for the rest of the house. So that one that takes water to your room, I locked it.
>> Why is it not my own room that you not disconnected the water?
Oh.
Oh. Ah. Ah.
Oh, mommy. What is it again? I >> open the tap. There's no water. Nothing is rushing.

You are telling me that why is why is your room disconnected? Maybe it is my own room that should have disconnected or visitors room so that when visitor come to this house to visit us, you will disgrace me or the kitchen that should be disconnected, I should not see water to cook again. Eh, if your room is not disconnected, which room should be disconnected.

>> Eh, really? Is it locked?
>> Yes, it is locked. AND I NEED WATER TO FLUSH.
