Once upon a time, a long long time ago

While going through the millions of pictures that have piled up on my hard disk throughout the years, I came upon an annoyingly nostalgic picture:

mommys little angels =P

This picture was probably taken during the year 2000 in Hasa, Saudi Arabia, on one of my dad’s family excursions. It brings back many, many memories- our bi-annual road trips, abayas, the warm winters of Saudi Arabia, and most importantly, the fact that I was once the tallest Assi.

Naturally, when the boys saw this picture, they all rolled on the floor with laughter, “Inti. Konti. Atwal. Mena?”

Yes. Ana. Kont. Atwal. Minkom. Tsawaro.

Today, I am the resident midget.

    I’m kinda in the same situation. In my case, my brother’s even taller than my mum who’s a little over average height, and younger sister’s almost my height. It doesn’t help when people point it out to me either.
