WE PLAYED UNTIL THE BATHWATER TURNED BROWN: A Hilarious Story of Growing Up in 80s Bulawayo

Do you ever find yourself missing home... but you can't quite explain why? Maybe it's the laughter, the freedom, the chaos... or the simple joy of growing up when life didn't need a screen to feel full. If you grew up in Africa (or anywhere else for that matter), this book will take you back. This is not just a story or a childhood diary. This is a funny childhood memoir-a vivid, laugh-out-loud journey through African childhood stories, real-life experiences, and the unforgettable moments that shaped who you are. From township streets to schoolyard madness, from painful haircuts to teenage love without phones or common sense-this book captures a time when life was simple, but never boring. What you'll experience inside: - Relatable, laugh-out-loud childhood memories that feel like your own- A powerful sense of nostalgia and reconnection to home- The humour and chaos of growing up without technology- Authentic childhood stories rarely told this honestly- Moments that remind you how creative, tough, and alive you once were- Stories you'll want to share with friends, family, and your children This isn't just a childhood autobiography, funny enough to entertain-it's a mirror of your past. You'll find yourself in these pages, remembering things you had forgotten, laughing at things you once survived, and appreciating how those moments shaped you. You might be wondering if this is just another collection of stories. >Before life became digital... before everything needed charging... There was a time when we simply lived. This book brings that time back.
