Getting Ready

Alaa:
We got to the venue and the guys were upstairs and the girls were downstairs doing their henna I had Khalids mom do mine because I like the way she did my sister's as she placed the henna tape on my feet she begin to speak Arabic to me Ana asif Ana hadatha Arabia shwy shwy (sorry I speak little arabic) I said I can speak Arabic it's just growing up in Philadelphia I've been around family who spoke English more than Arabic
Sudanese songs blasted through the radio and after two hours everybody's henna was done it was time to party my mom had ordered a bunch of traditional food and my dad and uncle set up for the band. I can't believe their ruining this for me
