Of course he is a good boy and the girl knew it. If she really thought he was bad, she would never tease him, because, being a boy and a little older than her, he could nail her to the ground.Maya

I have face two similar situations on my own, and i was too slow to deal the way i wished to deal. We should show our kids that it is not ok to speak bad about others and that people are different which doesn't mean that some are better than the others. However, i hope your son is laughing about the whole thing now.libyanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13236108084276157089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522239.post-51784699479357009172008-09-05T19:28:00.000+01:002008-09-05T19:28:00.000+01:00well,,thanks there..but really...I'm not very difficult to please ...A good glass of cold water or orange juice does the trick...hahaha...<BR/>best regards dear friendBenghazi Citizenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16326199508306511909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522239.post-30233855819594628802008-09-05T11:20:00.000+01:002008-09-05T11:20:00.000+01:00Assalamo alikom and Ramdan Kareem to you and your family.<BR/>Yes agree with you, there is racism in this Great Britin. and do you know who is the most dangerous racists....? the professionals, because they are very aware of the law and can handle it around very well..they will let u suffer of racism without any evidence either by body language or other non verbal hints. things u can not put hand on but u feel it clearly.<BR/>Amir- bless him -is so innocent but needs to know how to stand for himself if going to live in this country.<BR/>Well regarding the coffee U did not succeed with me iam afraid....I did not suffer ..just not big fan of it...:)<BR/><BR/><BR/>ggGood Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05959233747206334292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27522239.post-6360012241355238102008-09-05T11:10:00.000+01:002008-09-05T11:10:00.000+01:00ah, ya AL.. i had many calls after iftar yesterday so didn't move from the house at all!<BR/><BR/>i cannot wait to do a bit more turkish exploration :) i remember a good friend took me to a turkish/greek fusion resto in stoke newington.. it was so delicious i still remember it today!!!

I don't think I have ever discussed ethnic slurs with my children. I guess it won't be long now. <BR/><BR/>Then, since I am in one of those moods, here is a couple more things I'd like to add. I think you understand my sense of humor, but I hope others do as well. In any case, I'd like to dedicate this comment to our bored friend Cofman of the "Take it Easy" blog, who sounds like he should re-read his own blog name! lol lol Or read this comment.<BR/><BR/>To be honest with you, I have a hard time understanding people's shock here. What kind of insults would be hurled at the average Jewish child in Tripoli, I just wonder out loud. Oh, what the hell, what kind of insults ARE hurled at African children in Libya, or Pakistani, or even black Libyans and Libyan children of mixed marriages? Sorry, I ain't buying. Here is a verse of poetry that Muammar Gaddafi quoted in a televised interview, and in response to a question about turning his back to the Arabs and turning to Africa:<BR/><BR/> ابنضبّـطوا مسـعود بصناناتـه<BR/>لاجل العـروبـة وطنـها باعاتـه<BR/>Translation: <BR/>We will embrace Masoud with his body odors<BR/>Because the Arabs sold their homeland<BR/><BR/>Note: Masoud is one of the names used in Libyan folk literature as a generic name for black males. Those living in Libya should have no trouble remembering this poem from Libyan TV broadcasts-- or maybe not! lol lol. <BR/><BR/>Ebleeeeeez, beoble, how about some fasting off the holier-than-thou BS! lol lol<BR/><BR/>And one more thing... since some beebs seem so quick to label "us" one way or the other. I believe firmly that Bin Laden represents nothing but the scummiest scum ever to walk on or underneath the face of the Earth, a club that includes members from all cultures, religions and geographical regions. Further, I cannot possibly fathom why anyone would consider being labeled "bin laden" an insult while at the same time objecting to others despising the guy! How does that work? Let's flip it around and see... Would people also find it insulting for a black boy to be labeled "Mandela," or a Catholic girl to be labeled "Mother Teresa"? Would it be insulting for a Libyan child to be called "Einstein"? If Bin Laden is such a respectable, noble holy warrior, why then would his name be insulting to wear?
