When a t-shirt comes out of the factory (high school), it’s crisp and bright. People compliment you on your new shirt (Fresher).
After you wear the t-shirt a couple of times, the fabric loses elasticity. You no longer get excited when wearing it because people have already seen you in it. Your eye starts to wander on new t-shirts (Second-Year).
After a couple dozen wearings, yellow pit stains develop in the underarm area, especially if you’re of Kyambogo descent. You stop wearing it in public, and only put it on when you’re doing work around the house (Third Year).
Eventually, holes develop in the fabric. It has been used too many times. Now it is only good to clean the toilet bowl before finally being placed in the trash. (Fourth Year and finalists).
The lesson in this? Live next to the t-shirt factory.
