I just had a good ketchup fight with my eldest daughter: Amna. I thoroughly enjoyed it because as of this moment I am taller, but probably not for very long!
The kitchen is a MESS… nevertheless, take your chances while you can says I! 😆
An Arab man's attempt at bridging the cultural gap and trying to make a difference. Failing a lot. Succeeding once in a while.

Ketchup is good for your hair!
The very least you could do Mahmood is post a picture or two of the fight! Or at least the aftermath carnage! This does beg the question.. Where was Francis during all of this?
ciao!

She was watching the shenanigans and encouraging her daughter against her husband of course! Sorry I couldn’t post any pictures of the aftermath though, my “abused” maid was quick to clean up the kitchen and dining areas! 😉

Was it Democrat (Heinz) or Republican (Huntz) Ketchup? Didn’t Arif jump into the fray to defend dear ole dad against the evil sister? I am assuming the French opted out of this? French as in French’s Mustard. They do tend to be a little yellow when it comes to a good fight.
Re: Ketchup is good for your hair!
Och democrat I fear! Arif wasn’t around at the time though I’m fairly sure that he would’ve stood WITH his sister against his father, although he would be the first to admit that he is scared shitless of her!
For instance, her way of waking him up in the morning is going as close as one inch from his exposed ear and shouting WAKE UP CREEP at the top of her voice, to which he responds by instantly sticking to the ceiling off which *I* have to pry him off of.
Yes, our children do love each other. If love were to be translated to terrorism by choice. This Al-Yousif household continues to be the bane of existance of the rest of the tribe!
Why my brother will NEVER do Karaoke
So once upon a time, I’m visiting the homestead. I wake up one lovely weekend morning and in peeking around, I find my brother at his computer singing along to The Police’s “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”. Seizing the opportunity, especially with his back to me and not yet realizing I was in his room, I crept up right behind him, and inches from his ear, in the deepest most ominous voice I could muster, I said:
“And how close would that be?”
I have no idea what the look on his face was, but he kept spontaenously screaming through the day. And ever since then, he moved his desk around so he could see the door….

I was in a Creme Caramel fight once. I won too. But it did not improve my victims hair.
If you really want glossy luxurious hair, have a beer fight. Go out into the street, take one tin of gassy beer each, shake the tins vigorously, then aim at each-other while activating the ring-pulls and Viola!- there goes the neighbourhood…
But…, next time you run your fingers through your own hair, you’ll wish you could marry yerself. (For this reason, it is wise to avoid soaking the dog in beer.)

In high school, my brother and I had a great quiet insidious ongoing war between us that we kept underground so as to not get in trouble with my mom.
But… the best salvos were:
Joe to Jen: Stuffing football training socks (August in Southern California) that he had purposefully worn for two weeks of 8 hours a day practice all in a row. Then he let them ripen in his locker and then opened up the stuffing of my pillow and put them in. Talk about WAKING UP!!! My nose is still singed nearly two decades later.
Jen to Joe: Offering to give his friends on the football team their haircuts and making all of them look like a drunken sheep shearer after a 3 day binge. Then they ALL had to go bald. ;o)
smiles, jen ;o)
p.s. We are now the best of friends. There is hope.

Hi
just written a book.Its about Bahrain in the seventies never know it might be quite good. Tried to make it as exact as possible have been known to slight exageration in the past however the whole of it is truth not easy because people sometimes find that a bit boring .Anyone interested? its not been published because bahrain is the second part and the whole of it still needs typing up just seeing if there is any call for it have a sallam awhili kuhme probably spelt that wrong because we moved back to Scotland before I could learn it …best alison… and I may just try this ketchup thing….
