Frowned upon but not forbidden

[SavySallySupersedes]

What is something your parents didn't want you to do, but wasn't necessarily forbidden?

For me, it was going to the movie theaters. My parents bought me a car before I ever saw a movie inside a theater. I still don't know why going to the movie theaters was so bad. My mom would say: "It's dark. Ciyaal suuq go there. It's not a place for a good girl like you."

Little does she know...


Just kidding.

My mom would freak when I'd go to the movies too. Even today if I go, she'll say "subxaan, ado intaas le'eg? Na hoy ciyaal suuqnimada jooji, guur meer baa tahaye" Wasn't really an inconvenience since I hardly watch movies in or outside the theatres. I prolly reach the theatres once or twice a year.

I wanted to get a nose ring as a teen and hooyo freaked Looking back, I'm sort of glad I didn't get one, because now it seems like everyone has one. She could never give me an adequate reason as to why though. I guess you could argue it is xaram though *shrugs*.

Nose rings = whore.

That's what she'd say but it's far from the truth

You dont want to know

Hangin' around with stoners and smokers, yardies and patoi speaking malis.

Oh, the nose ring was no-go in my house. I wouldn't dare bring that up. I couldn't go to Hope Brown Johnson's sleepover in the 3rd grade. My mom was like: "I'm afraid that you might get molested. We don't trust white people." Mom's candidness.

It isn't. I don't know where I picked it from but I view people with piercings (other than the ears) poorly. Even those with extra piercings in their ears. Your mother is right.

Subeer: That was for your own benefit. Birds of a feather flock together.

Climi: I'd like to know

SSS: LOL Wallahi that was the same reason why I wasn't allowed to go to sleep overs "Gaaladan/carabtan ma taqaanid, wey ku fuuli hadday raban". When I was older, it turned into "haa, sheekooyinka gamba yarta waan aqaana. Waxaad odhan doonta halkaas ayaan jooga laakin club baa dhex taagan tahay. Ma shalay ayaan dhashay nayaahee?"

Insomniac: I know Somali moms w/ nose rings. It's nothing really. My fam is just too conservative.

Looool, ila iyo hadda hooyo intaa baan isku qabsanaa. Weligaa kama weynaanaysid miyaa, hooyo wax laga weeynaado maahan ayaan ugu jawaabaa.

^ I figured loose girls went to theatres back in the mother land. There's no other explanation for their level of paranoia.

[QaaliDumar]

^Hooyo wey gali jirtay laakin waxay ku dhihin " He dalkeenuu ahaa, dalkeeni markaan joognay waxaan rabnaan sameyn jirnay".

[Lillaahiya]

That's the same excuse she uses when I bust open the album and point at pics of hers in 'toob al amarikana' & pencil skirts Somali parents, you gotta love them.

[QaaliDumar]

True, waxaas oo dhan wanaag un ayay oga jeedaan
