Muslim Amazing Race

Husband and I love The Amazing Race. I’m pretty sure it isn’t as uncool as my Apprentice obsession (see 6 or 7 posts down) but still pretty embarrassing nonetheless. I’ve often wondered how we’d fair as a team and I’ve come to conclusion we would kick some serious BEHIND. Aaaah there’s nothing like sitting on the couch, in the comfort of our own home, no jetlag or adrenaline rushes or fatigue and all with the benefit of hindsight to instill that illusion of complete superiority over those on the television screen.

Ok..who am I kidding. We’d be the first to be Philiminated since I can’t run so well in my abaya and husband running at the airport would attract the BOMB!!!! squad. In my quest to live forever in fantasy TVland, I’ve decided to do my very own (imaginary) Muslim Amazing Race episode recaps…

Stay tuned!

Update: Here is the first episode!

The boys are getting excited, ready to have a play with playdough for a little while before 5-year-old heads off to school.

Me (planting the seed in 5-year-old) : You know, if we were homeschooling we’d do this EVERYDAY for as long as we wanted.

5 minutes later the boys are arguing.

Me: Oh for goodness sake! Just split the colours up and SHARE with your brother. Let him have some of the BLUE! Just give him some the blue colour!! See? NOW WAS THAT SO HARD?

Husband (ripping the seed out) : You know, if we were homeschooling, we’d do this EVERYDAY.

Hrrmph. Not only did he take the seed out but he totally dessicated the surrounding soil and added some lethal toxin such that NOTHING will grow there for a good few weeks.

Back to the drawing board.
