Re: How do you reply?
Faisal, it’s not that I have “ghussa on my naak” all the time, it’s just that I prefer not to socialize any further with ignorant people. Why would anyone want to put themselves in a position over and over again to be insulted or to have their children insulted? I guess there is something to be said for turning the other cheek, but why try to preserve a family relationship with someone who insults your children? It’s not anger, it’s complete apathy and telling someone how you really feel about them, ie you think they’re imbeciles. If they have no qualms about calling your kids kalloo or ugly, why should you sugar coat things? Why shouldn’t YOU be able to say what YOU feel, they’re obviously not holding back.
SaimaNYC, you’re obviously a more rational person than I am, and definitely more diplomatic. I just can’t sugar coat things and am a very blunt person, sometimes it bites me in the a$$ but mostly it works out for the better.
