Uvula

Me: What do uvulas DO? Do they even do anything??
Sabiheen *with a completely serious look on her face, which made me then focus hard on what I thought would be an enlightening conversation*: Okay, when you close your mouth, disco lights come on and—
*I burst into laughter*


Parking Lot

*Sitting in the JC at George Mason*
Me: You guys, I got such a good parking spot today, it’s not even funny. Mashallah.


Perfume

*Runa sprays a perfume on herself*
Me: Ew, what was that? It smells so bad! It smells like the STEM of a flower, not even the actual flower!!


Pets

*Runa, Mina and Madina are trying to go up to a family to hold their cute baby in one of the rest areas in the mall*
Me: Come on guys! Let’s go!
Runa: No! If it was a dog you know you would be doing the same thing!
Me: Yeah but it’s normal to ask someone to pet their dog. Its NOT normal to ask to pet their kid!


Superiority Complex

*Tootie flies onto Mustafa's head, Mus angrily brushes him off so he lands on my head instead*
Mus: That's so rude. Tootie thinks that JUST because he can fly he can land on anyone's head. Like, 'Oh, I have legs! Let me walk on your face!'

Cleo style

*Having fun “predicting” our futures 10 years from now*
Rohina *predicting Runa’s marriage*: You’re gonna marry a man that LOVES Indian movies!


Party kids

*Trying to convince these kids at a family party that Keek is Jewish*
Kid #1: Okay, what do you celebrate then?!
Keek: Hanukkah.
Kid #2: THAT’S WHAT AFRICANS CELEBRATE!



Petting Zoo

Me: OMG! I love petting furry things!!!!! Anonymous girl: Then you’d love to pet my armpits.


Playdate?

My mom: Zohra, do you want to come with me to my friend's house tonight? She has a daughter your age that you can hang out with.
Me: Who is this daughter? How have I not met her before? ...Wait. How old is she?
My mom: Uhh like...13 or 14.
*silent pause*
Me: I'M 22 YEARS OLD! -____-
