May the Eid Happy Us All

3eedkom imbarak :) And if it’s not Eid for you today, then 3eedkom imbarak bacher!
The amount of sophistication in kids now is quite mind boggling. One of the kids had a notepad and the names of all us uncles, with a little checkbox next to each one. The little freak was friggin doing accounting or something. Jeez, whatever happened to being pleasantly surprised?
I sneaked behind the kid and tapped his shoulder. He looked at me and feigned surprise as I pulled out my wallet.
“I shouldn’t be doing this, you’ve been annoying your parents lately haven’t you?” I said, hesitating.
“I’m very sorry. I kissed each parent’s head today.” He said. Of course, when would be a better day to kiss their heads?
“Here you go. 3eedik imbarak!” I gave him a nice round 10kd with a smile. He took it from my hand, smiled back at me and checked a little box next to my name.
“Just make sure not t… Hello? Kid?” I realized that my words were falling on deaf ears. I stopped myself when I saw him not paying attention anymore. He sat back in his chair and eyed the other uncles. He was done with me.
I hope you’ll remember that Eid al Ath7a is a few months away you little bastard! I’ve got you in my crosshairs! I was gonna do some Eid cuts anyway since the economy is dying! I’m sure the US can use my 10kd in their $700 billion rejected bailout! Or you know what? I’ll buy a PS3 game with that 10kd! Ok sure, I need to add a few more KD to get the game, but I’ll make sure it’s your favorite game and you won’t play it! In fact, I’ll play it right in front of your face and make sure to put a checkmark next to your name, which, by the way, is now mysteriously spelled “donkey.”
Grr..
frikkin kids.
Still, gotta love em :)
PS: Never “try” something with your shaver a day before Eid.
