Among the trips with the merry elderly women, other than Hajj and Umrah trips, was a trip to the far ocean, after we stopped in London, and continued to travel to Washington, during that trip, “British Airways” did not take their opinion on the appetizers served before dinner in the air, so it brought them “Somon” Vimeh” or smoked fish with an unpleasant orange luster, and when I came to inspect them, I found them glistening as they looked at that plate, and they were saying: “Enter you.
And when we arrived in Washington, I wanted them to see the White House, which they hear on the radio and TV news bulletins, and they don’t know what it looks like, but I stipulated that they hand the burqa’a while on the tour, because we are not missing the Americans and “you miss terrorism phobia or Arabs and Muslims phobia.” They said: “Without a headscarf without burqas, we went to the sanctuary, and we did not wear our burqas, when we slapped it in the country of the “Red English”,” so I retracted the condition, because our first females do not know the veil, the veil, and the new veil, and it comes to us from somewhere not We know its destination. As for the new “Islamist” veil, it is now more dangerous than the veils that we “were never aware of that would tempt us.”
The important thing is.. without the length of the above, after the simple circumvention, boredom began to seep into them from the beginning, and they began to complain about their knees, and the pain of walking that was useless, so I said surprisingly: How is it useless? This is the White House, all leaders make pilgrimages to it, and all kings and presidents are sermons, and it is considered the home of the gods that lead the world. This is the White House, the home of American presidents who have not lived in it for more than eight years. The old women laughed and said: “Okay! Why do they call it the White House, and it is a dusty smoker?” We emerged from it, but we did not, crowding people into it, the White House… The White House! By God, the house of the “Sheikhs” is better than it! It is bigger and wider, and it has the comfort of a return, and that greenery that restores the soul, except for what we say: Ammar.. O Abu Dhabi!
I replied to them: “The house of the ‘elders’ here means the Congress building!” I almost disavowed them, and their escort to the White House.
And after we left, we sat for a walk in the garden next to the White House, and we sat resting in one of its corners, and we were stopped by an American family who seemed to be coming for tourism in their country, which resembles a large continent, so that they do not see that there is another country, its bigness, or its greatness, and usually Americans are simple, cheerful and people with Social personalities, and they consider the stranger they see for the first time, a resident of America, but they do not know him, and they do not know from which distant states, and that American family wanted to get to know us and the forms of our clothes that seemed strange to them, and they did not mind our participation in our vacation and our fun, And you taste our food, because all matters are with the Americans “Fanny.” The members of this family were astonished by seeing our old men with their veils, and the old man with the gray mustache was the most curious, and he had water in his mouth, and more than one question, and he did not know what questions to submit, and what he could delay them. He tried to remember the name of this thing, but the language did not help him, so he called it “this thing”, wondering about its usefulness. From ultraviolet rays, shook the American His head was content, with a laugh as loud as age would allow, and his gray mustache bristles parted, and he said, “Oh, that maker sense, oh… it looks like a sun-class!”
I tried to simplify things for my old women, and that the man praised their burqa, and hoped to have a burqa to try on, but they cut me off and showed the leftovers, from the long slanders of time: “Wow, you clear his bones!”
So I translated it in an instant way with a smile I tried to sympathize with, and followed by a laugh that I hoped would change the subject, and be silent, destroying my good old men.
