There is a small part of his kufi left, but it looks more like a Jewish scullcap now that it shrank. I really doubt he'll wear it. Oh well :)
In other news, my mom cooked chicken today. So my dad, who's very particular about food and how it's cooked is like "what's the history of this chicken?" (he meant, how was it cooked, but when you translate things from Arabic into English, they sound messed up.)
So I started telling him about the chicken's history. "Well, abee. You see, first an egg was hatched. Then it was fertilized. Then after some time it cracked open and a cute little chick came out..." etc.
I think he was annoyed. Hehe.

History of my Dinner
So, my dad washed his kufi today. This is his new, and amazingly clean kufi after it came in contact with our dryer:

I always though it was fertilized before it was hatched :P
I hand-wash my kufi's to avoid ruining them but it's tedious to do it this way still - thus, my kufi's don't get washed often enough in my opinion.
The history of the chicken was interesting.
0o0o00OOOoo ... i lawwwww chicken
Assalaamu Alaikum :)
Awww Is that really your dad's kufi leftovers?! I'd cry if something like that happened with one of my hijabs.
Your dad is very entertaining masha'Allah :)
And Nauman really needs to keep up with his laundry.
And I also "lawwww" chicken haha
Okay time for class, toodles!
Aaliya, you seem to have skipped biology class.
Nauman, haha - you, handwashing stuff? Funny.
Dil, I laww chicken too. But I also laww cow.
Squeeky, yup - really my dad's leftover kufi. He's entertaining, indeed. He's like, cool.
Mars, back to you with crazy glue.
yay, someone else who calls their dad abee. I always get "why do you say abee, it so FORMAL, you should say BABA". whatever.
where are you from originally?
im so estoopid. I just commented and put my webpage as my blogger password. thank god for quick reflexes though - I deleted it. ahaha. um. :$
Nuralhuda, yeah, not too many people use the titles "abee" and "omee" :)
That's nothing though. My little cousins calls their dad "abatee" - which is in the Qur'an when Prophet Ibrahim (as) is telling his father not to worship idols.
"Behold, he said to his father: "O my father (ya Abatee)! why worship that which heareth not and seeth not, and can profit thee nothing?" (Maryam 42)
It's the most tender name you can call your father by. So, it's very sweet.
I'm orignially from Egypt.
On that note, Ismael (as), the son of Ibrahim (as) also calls his father "abatee" - "ya abatee if'al ma tu'mar"...
:D
thats why you let it air dry.
