So after briefly singing Janet Jackson's "What have you done for me lately" because of the title of the post, I will now focus on some very serious questions at hand.
Diego says that Colombians are very particular about when and how often someone should shower. First of all, he says they must shower at least once a day. Okay, fine. I'll give him that. But more strangely, they must shower in the morning!! He told me that children who go to school without showering in the morning (proof found in the wet hair) are made fun of the way that heavier kids are made fun of in the US!
Considering the fact that I have been a night-time shower taker since ummmm birth, I find that very strange. I personally have severe issues with dry skin after showering once a day. I skip washing my hair one day or try to only wash the key areas so I don't dry everything out so much. I need my natural skin oils!!! That might be "too much information" for some people, but it's the truth. The idea that you would have to shower at night if you were dirty during the day only to wake up the following morning to take another shower seems ludicrous! My skin and hair would all fall out if I did that.
I have to reiterate that this is all according to Diego. Maybe it's something he was told so he would take a shower as a kid. Maybe it's a Bogota thing. I'm not sure....but it seems very strange in deed.
