Salma Said It: Daddy would have Killed you!

Every time I am cutting watermelon slices out, slicing precariously close to the whitish parts, I know I'm NOT doing it right. As it is, Wizard happens to be a scrooge about wasting food, so in spite of all my pleadings that "the white part is NOT for eating, it is the reason you get stomach ache after eating watermelon" he refuses to let me waste it. So I continue the atrocity that is, not sparing the white, and cut it out as Wizard showed me.

Alas, every time I cut a watermelon at my sister's house, she never misses a chance to tell me (accompanied with a dramatic gasp) "If Abbu (our late father) was alive, he would have killed you." You see, my dad loved watermelon and took delight in cutting and delicately picking out the seeds out of single bite pieces for his family. He would NEVER have left the white meat on.

Each time Salma tries to keep me from adding on the pale pink and white meat on to the watermelon slices, I think to myself "But Wizard will kill me if I waste the white part and HE IS ALIVE!"

Here you go my love, enjoy the stomach ache that is sure to follow.

Salma said it: Standars are like water

My sister occasionally produces these marvelous brain farts that can convey pretty deep messages if you can stop laughing for a few minutes. These need to be immortalized somewhere before she writes her own book and gets picked by the Oprah Book Club.

Her friends will really appreciate this =)

Today I confronted her that her standards are different for whenever it suits her and how come she can't make up her mind, she came up with this:

"It's like water, it gets stagnant if you don't change it often. Standards need to be changed so they don't get stagnant."

=D
