Damn, They're crazy!

4 "Got to have my priorities straight, ya know"

" Dig in, everybody!" my dad shouted with full force. 

Finally free from Ramadan! And what that mean?! Time to  partyyyyy!!! Party! Oh, yeah! Party! Oh, yeah!

But first, eating and sleeping. Got to have my priorities straight, ya know.

The dinning room was full of people laughing and delicious food. The view was amazing, everybody was enjoying themselves, but let's just talk about the deliciousness calling, no, screaming my name. It was steaming, looking gorgeous and smelling incredible, perfect combination.  I think the food made all the difference tonight, and last night, and two nights ago... aaaand I think I've got an obsession.

" Wake up, sleepy head!" every woman in the house was at my door, looking like it was the end of the world and shouting for me to wake up. Such a nice and relaxing morning I have! NOT!

What have I missed?

Nothing. Go back to where you came from.

Ok. More sleep for me then. Haha, loser!

I hate you, just so you know.

" WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN BED ? You need to get ready to visit everyone! What will you wear? And makeup and hair? Oh god! We don't have enough time!" all ladies were panicked and shouting, looking like dizzy bees. Great! I'm going to have a killer headache today, I tell you.

" WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU ALL SHOUTING IN THE FREAKING MORNING WHEN WE SHOULD BE SLEEPING OUR HEADS OFF?" I screamed angrily from my bed. I really wonder what the neighbors will think of all this yelling.

" You need to get ready to go visit everyone and celebrate." one of them said. Ok, now they are making me think of more ways to kill them.

" And you will not have time to get ready! What are you going to wear and how are you going to stile your hair and makeup?" why, oh why are they making  such a fuss out of it?

" Some nice jeans and a shirt. Simple." the look on their faces was one of pure horror. What? Is there a ghost behind me? If it is, then... Hey ghosty!!

" Over my dead body!" that could be arranged " You need to wear a dress and makeup at least! You are seventeen for God's sake! What' s in your head? Pasta instead of a brain?"

I agree with them! You do have  pasta instead of a brain. I was wandering when they will realize.

No, I do not! Stupid people and conscience! They all team up on me! Not fair!

" I will wear make up and a dress when hell will freeze the hell over!" I said hotly.

" At least wear a dress!"amto Bisan said with the same tone.

" In your wildest dreams!" yes, I just quoted Taylor Swift in this situation. Sue me.

" You will wear a dress even if we have to put it on you with force." they started advancing, looking like they were some furious kangaroos ready to battle. God, make them have mercy on me! I don't want to die so soon, I haven't even had fries for breakfast yet!

Amto Bisan got a red, nearly knee length dress and a thin black belt. The dress had short sleeves, was fitted at the top and the bottom was a bit puffy, with a colorful modern design painted on a white material around the very bottom of the dress, while amto Buthaina got a pair of black sandals. Everybody else was keeping me in place, while putting the dress on. I was looking at the dress with disgust.

I will get them back! Traitors! You will see!

But you got admit that they have kept their word.

Oh, shut up! You are not the one going through so much torment!

And why in the name of everything holly had Hades to freeze hell today?

" Now makeup and hair!" NOOOOO WAY! That is going to happen when I will live in heaven, and that will be, well, never. Just so you know, I crawled out of hell, so...

" If you even try it, I will kill you in your sleep! All of you!" If looks could kill, they would have been dead a long time ago. Oh, how I would love to be able to do that. It would be such a pleasure!

"Okay , okay, no makeup! But you will keep your hair down for once! If not, you will stay home alone tonight, while everyone will go party. And I will take every bit of chocolate that's in the house with me." Damn, she was tricky!

" Fine" I dragged the out of the room and put a pair of three quarters long black leggings. That should make me comfortable enough and them angry. Muhahaha! I'm a weirdo, I know, but it's worth it.

My jewelry was the same as usual, the two necklaces and the stack of bracelets I never take off, plus a pair of small and simple, round earrings. Just do it!

Ew, I'm turning into nike.

I went in the living room. Everyone was wearing new and dressy clothes, looking too fancy for me and my liking. Eh, I need to get over this already.

" Are we leaving or what?" they turned, looking at me. My aunts were angry because of the leggings, while everyone was looking shocked to see me in a dress. Wow, so much for wearing it. I believe they think sometimes that I am not a girl. I don't blame them. I am an alien, but they don't know yet.

"Damn, people, we are not in a cliché movie! Stop staring and let's get going!" I said smirking. They will not hear the end of this.

We first visited one of my father's sister's family. She was a bit older than her others siblings and had a daughter that had a baby boy.

Wow. Such a tongue twister. I like it.

We talked and ate traditional sweets and drank tea for two hours, I think, until we had to live. I remembered my aunt from my childhood, but Sam did not, so he was quiet most of the time, while I was talking and laughing with them. The baby was enjoying the attention, too. He was too sweet and irresistible, so I had to play with him for a while. Who wouldn't?

Next, we drove for another hour.

" So, we now are meeting some of my cousins and I don't think you've ever met them. There are a few there, but you don't need to feel intimidated by them. Oh, and just so you know, all of them will be dressed in black. Their uncle died a few days ago." dad told us like he was telling us interesting facts about science. Weeeird...

When we got there, we were welcomed by 12 ladies dressed in a traditional Arabic costume, but black.The costume was composited out of a floor length dress, that had long sleeves and a hijab. 

*wink. The woman in black. * wink. *wink.

They make every welcoming over the top, don't they?

We greeted them and went inside, in the living room. Around the walls were couches and seats, all of them being occupied by someone, just our seats being free. Do you want to know how many people were there? You may stop breathing, be careful ... 50 people, if not more. If you think I am joking, you are terribly wrong.

Imagine that most of them were your father's cousins. What would you do? I tell you what, you will look like my brother and I, shocked, but you will feel like God smacked you behind the back of your head with a bat so hard He made you dumb enough for the entire world. That's how.

Soooo, what am I going to do in a room full of middle age people for three hours? I will just get bored, that's what.
