Familial Ties Rearing Their Ugly Heads Yet Again

--"Oh come on L. .. 3aaaib you have to invite her to stay with you"

I knew I was fighting a losing battle. 3aib almost equates to 7aram in our society. Add in family and you've got yourself a mortal sin if you commit the 3aib deed.

My cousin-- termed loosely, I have yet to find convincing direct lineage-- is in town with her family. We're about the same age and her mother has talked to my mother about letting her stay with me for a few days because Rima wants to be on her own and away from the family.

Excuse me.. would anyone like to take my opinion on taking the little devil in for her first days away from authority?

Of course I was pressured into it... and I didn't know what I got myself into until I opened my door a few nights ago to her squealing, stiletto elevated, fur donning self. Behind her was a short Philippino .. companion... weighed down by Louis Vuitton luggage and with a sympathetic expression to my upcoming plight.


To be continued when my head stops pounding with memories of last night.

It's one sorry ass list.


Taqwa:

Fedo:
Of course not. That would defy Dame Fortune's hex on me these days.

ouch ouch and ouch,

Babysitting sucks. Babysitting a "squealing, stiletto elevated, fur donning self" is enough to set anybody off.

Sorry to hear it- but you survived, so there you go!

Still in the process, not sure if I'll come out of this unscarred.

I was never much of a babysitter.


E.:
(we agreed on E. didn't we?)

Thanks. I wont be offended that you've noticed belatedly ;)

Stereotypes are fun, hell.. anything offensive is fun.
