I heard a thudding sound while I was making wudhu for `Asr prayer. Concerned that it would wake Bear up, I rushed out. I saw Ms M sitting on her stool, thumping a heavy baseball bat on the floor.

I was about to scold her when she said in a somewhat pre-occupied way, “You know what Ummi?”

“What?”

“If I met Fir`awn, I would CLUB him with this baseball bat!”

*S*

If ONE more person says “In shaa Allah” when they really mean “I don’t give a toss about your invitation and won’t go unless wild dogs force me”, I think I will really lose it.
