Unforgettable Memories of South Caicos Paperback –

“Get up girl, we gotta wash today. Set de tubs, then sort de clothes.”

It is just about daybreak, one can hear the roosters doing their timely, melodious, echoing chorus. This is really time to draw the covers and get a good piece of sleep, but mother reminds me that it is ‘Wash Day.’ Ba Hen, my godfather, the man with the donkey cart, remembers that he is to bring a drum of water because it is wash day at the Malcolm’s house, so he is coming down the road.
