Fluent Thoughts

Despite my previous post; I am happy to be an aunt of my little devilish niece. It’s been a year now since her birth.

I like it that she exists and like it more that she likes me the most (which makes her poor mum jealous ); she calls me “NANA”, calls her father “BABA”, and calls everybody else “DADA” including her toys!

She is much attached to me that no one is allowed to come close to me; no one is allowed to hug me or kiss me especially my little brothers; it is when she will start crying and shouting “NANA NANA”; which leads me to do it on purpose for the pleasure of it

Happy Birthday My Love

Being an adult and still living with my parents isn’t a strange issue in Kuwait; actually it is a must as long as I’m not married.

Being the eldest and single while my younger siblings are married is a bit strange; especially when two of them are married. They already have their own containers that I’m not a part of.

As for me, my parents treat me as a lady in my age should be treated, taking her own decisions and living her own life as if she is totally independent. This keeps only my other brothers in the container with my parents, leading them and some times taking decisions on there behalf.

What I have noticed yesterday is that I’m in no container; my mum calls my sister and they go in another room and talk about something concerning my brother (I guess), a few minutes later my brother and father join. I ‘m out of the room, out of the decision taking and out of all containers.

I don’t feel lonely and that does not make me change my mind about marriage; still I kind of feel left behind, why does marriage give them the precedence in being in that room and not me. It’s not that marriage had matured them any more. I’m still the eldest!!

Few words I had to write to and about Ra-1.

You are so sweet and kind that people take advantage of you; you offer your heart and caring to all even to those who don’t deserve.

You give not to receive; you share your feelings knowing it’s no waste of time or effort. you give for the sake of giving.

It’s you who are right and it’s your heart that is kind and it is your manners that are straight.

You live life as it should be lived; you sleep at night with no regrets; you care for Allah, your family, friends then come your caring for your self.

For those who don’t deserve your heart and caring, I’m sure that they have gained nothing but loss.

You are the best friend a person could have.

She called it “Father is the daughter’s first love ”

First love indeed

As much as I like my niece as much as she scares me!

She started walking when she was only 9 months old. she is very short with thick black hear, walks with her hands up and wiggles her body. One day I was lying on the couch in the living room while she was torturing her toys, I strayed a little when suddenly I see her face directly in front of mine and then she blasts in laughter “HAHAHA”, it is not only her sudden laugh that scared me it is that she is imitating my laugh. Another strange thing is that when ever she hears music she starts dancing; normal you might think? she gets the rhythms perfectly with the melody!. She also has a strange attitude and a look that says “I’VE GOT THE POWER”; for example when we tell her to not do something she starts shouting and hitting us.

Last night I was doing some packing which I have been doing for the past two days (we’re moving to a new house); she inters my room (she knows her way well) and starts singing “nanana naaaa naanaanana” and walking her wiggly walk around the room; she takes what ever her hands could reach and throws it on the bed; I took her, placed her in one of the empty boxes and gave her my London Taxi toy.

Still, there is a good part in her; she likes to share her milk with the furniture!
