It was in the dining room, in my grandmother’s house, with a whole bunch of relatives witnessing the scene.
I was like 6-7 years old, and I had a slight fever. Even if it was a long time ago, I remember the scene very vividly.
I wanted to go out and play in the courtyard with my cousins and brothers, but my mother kept telling me that I had to get the suppository first. I didn’t want to hear anything about that, since going out and play with my siblings was all what I was thinking about in that moment. At that point, what happened was that my mother proposed me a deal: I could go out and play, only if I let her give me the suppository.
So in the rush of the moment, my mother gave me the suppository in the dining room by the garden, where all my aunts, uncles and cousins were. I remember it was very humiliating because I was exposed so much.
The medicine was given to me in my mother’s lap, while she was sitting on the chair.
However, I was so happy after that, because I could finally go out and play in my grandmother’s courtyard.
