Um Manaf Tries to Take it Like a Man...

So I walk into a store weya refeejti o we're the only ones there aside from a man and a woman. Now the man is young o the woman looks much older so I assume inhom mu ma3a ba3ath.

Now, ana wa7da I think i'm "discreet" bes matelgoon louder than my voice. If ever you're in avenues o tesmi3oon wa7da muz3ija et-hather from like 20 stores down....it's probably me.

So while i'm picking out clothes ashoof il mara et7i6 her hand lovingly on the man's arm and i say to myself "oh y3arfoon ba3ath" ... now if you're wondering why i'm looking at them and why i'm thinking about them, the answer is because ana Kuwaitiya wel ligafa ib dami.

Then something even more weird happens, she gets a phone call and I hear her tell her mother that she's out shopping with "rayelha" so I turn to my friend and make an innocent comment "oh, 3abali ihya oma!".

Now dear readers...I'm not mean. Walah el 3atheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem ma kan qa9di to be mean. It was just a comment wana ma fakart gabel la I opened my mouth (which is typical Um Manaf).

O 6ab3an mashalla 3ala my "hushed whisper" all of the eastern hemisphere esma3aw my comment 3an il woman!

So as I get ready to leave the store I walk past her wela faj2a I get this shooting pain in my arm as she "accidently" elbows me and I go fffllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyying into agrab 6ooofa!

Tathkiroon lama America invaded Iraq recently? O lama Saddam decided to try one last time to "destroy" Kuwait so he sent that 3ooya missile that hit the corner of souq sharq (mind you, law he blew up lashkal ili ihnaak chan sawalna big favor) bes anyway...the sound of that explosion? Exactly similar to the sound of me crashing into the wall!

El mohim, in the end, my fault completely....I should have waited for her to leave il ma7al gabel la at7acha..so I took it like a man..dusted myself off, leaned on my friend and had her drag me out of the store.

Mo mn 9ijha she elbowed you!! Awww, poor Um Manaf. I have a tendency to open my mouth at the wrong time sometimes too :/

I don't blame you, I mean... Ya3ni, if it was obvious she was much older than him, I would be like wth? too. And stare. And listen to their conversation. It's very normal, 'cause it's Kuwait. :D
