We all know Arabs make a big deal when they see someone they know. The whole neighbourhood would here them exchange salaams.

Here's a scenario:

ME: Mama yallah we need to go! We're gonna be late

MAMA: Ya mahbool, we aren't going to be late- YA ALLAH! HATHA INTI YA MARIAM!

KHALTO MARIAM: Habibti, how are you!!!

MAMA: We're great!

*exchange hugs and kisses* (we all know by kisses I mean they kiss cheeks repeatedly and they make kissing noises!)

MAMA: Wallah it hasn't *kissing noise* been the *kissing noise* same *kissing noise* without you yalbi!

ME: Mama we're going to be late for parents evening! Yallah please!

*mama gives the glare that indicates you have a meeting with a slipper when you go home*

KHALTO MARIAM: oh Allah is this your daughter Mashallah so beautiful.

*pinches cheeks and hugs very tightly.*

ME: KHALTO I can't breath.

*khalto moves away*

*i exhale*

* fourty five minutes later*

ME: MAMA please we have been in the driveway for so long and know we're definitely late!

MAMA: OH my Allah you right! Please Mariam, come inside...

After Khalto Mariam leaves

MAMA: hello? Yes am I speaking to my daughters school? Yes, I know we have missed the meeting. We have to schedule another one. Yeah, we couldn't come today, my daughter broke her leg...
