46 grounding I didnt get to walk Tante Z called out SARSOURAAAA when she saw me on the stairs (she could see me through the screen door) "YOU WILL WALK?" Yep! "Wait for meee, I will finish food and walk too" Okieeee. "Come, come I want tell you about very wonderful film. I just watch it but I watch it before many many many times." (She was in practicing English mode) I sat on the spot she was patting on her couch I'm all ears, tantey "It has Demi Moore, so beautiful and the one I love, Robert Redford" (Oh god) ...and Woody Harrelson? "I dont know the husband. BUT the film its name, INDECENT PROPOSAL" Aah. "YOU KNOW IT?" Yes, it's a very good film. And I like Woody Harrelson. * Tante shrugs* You know, there's a rumor he might be Matthew McConaughey's brother "NOOO!" (Now she's interested) "They look same, little bit!" There you go "You knooow, they make it in Lebanese series!" Seriously? I didn't know that. Arabic Indecent Proposal? "Yes its name 'Cello' -- very beautiful actor Nadine Negm, you know?" No idea. I'll Google. Oh, Yousra's in it. (We went to uni together, her dad, RIP, was a much beloved professor who made jokes that would probably get him fired these days) "Yes! It remind me also of Egyptian film 'Gary el Wuhoosh' -- the running of beasts, I just watch it also. You know?" Nope. "Gary el-wuhoosh it is come from a proverb, its meaning even when you run like the beast, the fate will come to you" Okay... "I tell you the story. There is one man, very poor, but SEXUALLY very talented" * Nodding * (Leave your body, Sarah, just leave) "The other, he is rich but he cannot make the babies and his wife she try *tante wiggles * you know?" MMHMMMM (LEAVE.) "Then there is doctor, he can take from brain and put in other brain -- it is a fantasia film" -- I won't spoil the plot for you so we're skipping to the end-- So you think it's a sign? "Yes. I see the both films on TV one after other. And same message!" What do you think the message is? *Tante sighs * "Maybe God saying, be contented. Work, make ambitions but also don't try so hard run from the fate. The fate it will find you anyway. Relaaax" I like that message, tante "FAIRY WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR DINNER" She switched to Arabic so abruptly it made me laugh Fairy= 21 year old grand-daughter home from college in France, daughter of Riri, sister of Biso, soccer star, impossibly cool I still cant believe she's 21, I checked her diaper and carried her around Tante Z and I walked down the street toward the beach when a car stopped and honked at us Z was ready to throw hands Baba? "Hellooooo" Cheerful baba is strange but surfaces occasionally I was relieved they could keep each other company while I slipped off to sit with K K is socially sophisticated in sea granny world "We don't have to do kisses, just do open and closed hand waves and blow kisses and say bye while walking away" GENIUS. GENIUS WITCH. She smoked shisha and talked about some premonitions: her friend's divorce, her mother's feud (I can't take another sea granny conflict) But mostly she wanted the movie star to call about their possible date tomorrow It was cute I could see the little kid in her eyes I hope she cancels on me tomorrow and he sends out his limo For selfish reasons I mean, I want her to be happy but mostly I want to do laps until everything hurts |
