The cutest 'Notice' ever

Don't you just love this? It's posted on the main door to my building. Apparently the maids have been having trouble cleaning the 'big mash' caused by cat and dog in the 'down steared'

Sorry, but the English teacher in me can't leave this undocumented.


How's your week everyone?

Dear God ...

My favorite DEAR GOD's:

Dear God: Did you mean for giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
Dear God: Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't you just keep the ones you have now?
Dear God: Thank you for the baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy.
Dear God: We read that Edison made light, but in Sunday school they said you did it. So I bet he stole your idea.
Dear God: Maybe Cain and Able would not kill each so much if hey had their own rooms. It worked with my brothers.


Sorry if the picture is too small to see. Picasso would've been a better choice but this is faster and I'm getting sleepy.

Crash


Now this is one hell of a movie. But I don't wanna ruin it for you by telling you how great it is. So watch it. You won't regret it. I got it a few days ago and only now got the chance to see it. I think the Oscars might have hastened my decision to watch it now. But it has certainly not affected my judgement of it.

Oh and this scene here. This is when ...

Naaah. I ain't gonna spoil it for you. :)

Enjoy

Child Labor


He said he was nine. The denied he was here last Tuesday at 9, a school night. When he realized I'm interrogating rather than buying, he evaded by saying it's turning green. It's gonna be green now. شبت خضرا. Then he ran to the other side of the road.

Child labor in Kuwait. How long before someone puts a stop to it? Are these kids being sent by their parents? Are they copying all the other kids who are doing it and easily winning their parents' approval to do that? How is it even legal? They close the 'baqala' in our neighborhood (and other hoods of course) but this, they endorce ... Go figure!!!

Is there a Charles Dickens in Kuwait?
