Talk from the “Tasmiya Residence”
I can remember an acquaintance used to answer her phone, “Anwar residence,” which I thought pretentious and a bit too posh. I quickly shook that idea out of my head. I mean at least the person on the other end of the phone knew immediately if he/she had the wrong number. Then one day this acquaintance needed a lift home from school. Any normal person would ask if we were going past her house but no..she had to say, “Are you travelling past my estate?”
Estate? It’s a house for crying out loud.
Anyway..
Nothing much to report here at Camp Tasmiya/Tasmiya Estate/Palace Tasmiya. It’s just been a hectic week with nothing to show for it bar a grumpy woman,three grumpy boys and one grumpy cat. Then there is husband and the other cat – they never get grumpy alhamdulillah. Just what is their secret?
————————–
Him (looking sullen and depressed): I’m getting so fat!
Her: You look good in those pants. Those pants fit you well.
Him (nearly in tears): That’s because these are my FAT PANTS!
Her: Oh. Well..ummm – I would never have guessed.
Him: *sob!*
————————
Tasmiya: So what would do if you discovered an alien in our backyard?
6 year old: I would make friends with it and look after it.
Husband: Yeah, me too. What about you?
Tasmiya: I’d report it to the appropriate authorities and demand a finder’s fee.
*waits for death stares*
*they don’t disappoint*
——————————
Despite the fact I am so insensitive and sometimes deliberately try to stir him up so, husband just laughs it off and never stews or sulks. As Dictator Princess always says, “Don’t hate y’all – just say machaAllah.”

turn it over to the authorities is better than….”open it up, dissect it and see how it works”….which was She’s answer. :/ yikes.

I wish I had your husband’s patience.
He works in IT and only Allah knows how he’s kept his sanity all this time.
More power to y’all. Or should I be saying, machaAllah?
