Cake



This is what happens when you leave a 2 year old, my cousin Nadine the baby of our family and her dad alone with her cake. Did I mention that his is his only child, the apple of his eye, and he finds everything she does amusing? Did I mention I feel the same way?

He Sure Has Great Taste In Women!

I am really tight with my maternal cousins,especially my cousin Tini. As kids Tini and I regularly tested the patience of Father Pepe Le Pew with our antics during Sunday school. It was truly a miracle of God (praise bejezus!) that we weren’t beaten with our rosary beads by the assorted nuns of the parish. "Two peas in a pod", the nuns used to say. Yet it never quite sounded like a compliment coming from them.

For the past several months my cousin has been telling me about this guy that she’s really serious about. She’s been dying for us to meet each other. The other day she e-mailed me a photo of her beloved. As the picture loaded up onto my screen I burst out laughing. Holy Monkey I know this guy!

I'm always saying my life is kind of like a sit-com and this just convinces me more. It turns out that I dated my cousin's new boyfriend a couple of years ago and dumped him. Thankfully I don't remember it being a bad break-up. So I’m sure there are no voodoo dolls made in my image playing the role of pin cushion in his night stand drawer.I have got to give the guy props on one thing he sure has consistent taste in women! If things don't work out with him and Tini we've got at least a dozen more female cousins in our age range we could hook him up with.

Dareem and the tighty whities display

We were shopping when my 4 yr old cousin Dareem stopped in front of a Calvin Klein underwear display. She seemed hypnotized by the male model in the display picture. She kept staring at his tighty whities. Other than her father she's never seen a man in his drawers so this was kind of facinating to her.

Nora called out to Dareem several times to get away from the display but she ignored her mother. People were walking by and laughing at the little girls obsessive staring at the semi-naked male model. “Nora your kid is a perv she won’t stop staring!” I teased… “Yeah what the hell is up with this child? All of a sudden she can’t stop staring at the guy’s crotch. Stop staring at the man’s under wear you damn freak!” Nora playfully yelled out to her kid.

I whipped out my cell phone and shot a picture of her being mesmerized by the undies….finally she points to the model but because she is so small she it looks as if she is pointing at his crotch and says, "Look Bubba (daddy)” I’ve seen my Uncle Hassan in his tighty whities and it hasn’t been by choice either. I looked at the bulge in the model’s underwear and without missing a beat said out loud “You’re mama can only wish honey, she can only wish.” and promptly got smacked across my head by Nora.


Bonus: Dareem singing her favorite song
