When I look at my “friends” the ones I grew up with and shared my life with its interesting to see how much things have changed in our group. Some of us are married, some of us have kids, others are overseas and we havnt really heard from them in months or even years, others have graduated HS and are going on to uni, and some of us are just living our lives day in day out nothing special, nothing much changed.
When I was in Corvallis this past weekend, on Friday a group of us sat in “our” corner in the musalah and just talked about all the past times, all the fun we had just being “kids”. Likewise when I got to talk to Tassnym yesterday a lot of our talk was about those times, which is part of why the conversation was so sad… we had a lot of good times alhamduliah, and I think no matter how far apart in distance we all might be, the memories that we had, and the friendship we had as a group, with no material gain but purely for the sake of Allah, will last forever.
Anyways some of the crazy things that we kept remembering and laughing about…SOAKING Danias trampoline and sometimes putting soap on it as well, then doing backflips!!! That has got to be the most dangerous thing ever. Or when it would snow, we’d also do that and it was almost as dangerous but at least when you would fall the snow would be soft.
Playing, freeze tag, jail tag, stop go, tag tag, and just about anything else that involves running in the musalaah until one of two things happens 1. one of the khalas comes in, and decides shes not going to leave couse if she does we will go back to the games again. 2.an ‘amu takes the mic and if hes nice asks us to shut up and stop running and “stop the ruckus”, if he’s annoyed or something then usually he will yell at the women for not keeping us quiet. Ahh we used to do this up until we were like 10-11 lol some of us were even 12
Sweet talking khala faiza and khala dalia into giving us the day off like every Sunday, and then going around taunting all the younger kids couse we didn’t have any work.
Bribing the bros into going to the store for us and getting us junk food. The way we would do this is we would gather all the money we had, go barrow some from the moms then have one of the girls go give her brother the money and tell him what we wanted then say “and u can have the rest of the money”. Now what we would do (sometimes, usually we would leave them money) is calculate it exactly so there is no money left over. :D
Going outside through the old ladies entrance at night to pick grapes and plums and stuff, then having one of our dads discover us!!!!
Playing a variation of, football, soccer, basketball, all together, in the backyard in the rain. It didnt matter what the score was, who won, or who broke the rules couse there was no rules.. the point was just not to get hurt and some how to get the ball in the basket, didnt really matter what you did in doing that..

Its funny how now if one of us did some of these things it would be like :O, not to mention the really crazy things we used to do that I think is best not to mention lol.. but it was fun, we had good times, and good memories. A lot of getting in troubles, fights, make ups, and just fun.. I think sometimes we miss those days, when we were carefree and could just do whatever, now there is so much formality in things but sometimes we just forget it all and just have fun, like we used to.. Dania’s engagment/wedding, and that one night when sarah was here and we were at her house till midnight having waterballoon fight in the back yard have got to be some of the funnest/craziest times for us the past couple years.. and all the trips and stuff.. Its at times like those where we forget the differences, the problems, the disagreements and just let it all go and its probably the closest to how it used to be..
