Me: Jannah, I thought you were gonna stay in the car?

Jannah: It happened again.

Me: What?

Jannah: I got out to stretch, and...

Se7en you remembered that encounter, pretty tramatic?  I remember when lightningatnite related the story to me a few months back. ;)  The "I" in the story refers to lightning though.

PTBM: FOB = fresh off the boat, and usually refers to those people from india,pakistan, bangladesh that have just come here, and have a lot of cultural baggage from the old country.  Naturally when you go to a different country, there are different customs.

ABCD: this means American Born Confused Desi.

Assalamoalykum,

Mashallah Harisa, thanks for the reminder. If Prophet Muhammad, Peace and blessings be upon him, were here at this moment, he would have told us the same thing. It isn't nice to make fun of people. There was a sahabi once, (companion of the Prophet), who was climbing a date tree and the other sahabis laughed at him because he had extremely thin legs. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, rbuked them and said, (not exact words), that his thin legs would carry him to Jannah faster than theirs on the Final Day.  (or something like that).

wassalam
