እኔ የምበላው ሳጣ ልጄ ጥርስ አወጣ

✦

“When I had nothing to eat, my child grew teeth.”

Meaning

This proverb conveys a sense of ironic misfortune or bad timing. It means that just when one is facing extreme personal hardship or scarcity, a new, unforeseen responsibility or need arises, further exacerbating the existing difficulties. The child developing teeth symbolizes a new demand for resources when the parent can barely provide for themselves.
