Happens to me alot walahida.
People either think that my mom and I are sisters or that we're twins.

Like this morning we went to the gym, she went in before me...i went in a minute later and the guy at the desk goes, didn't you just walk in here.

Hannah, I am a twin. It was difficult growing up as one. My twin and I are so identical we would sit in each other's college classes and no one would know. We would also get mixed up when going out. Dating was difficult as he was a rampant casanova and I would get flack for it.

Hannah, are you that old looking? Laughing

People mistake me for my twin brother although we are not identical.

Lol, yeah I am. I look like a 40 yr old. To be honest, my mom takes c are of herself really well, she is in impecible shape..Masha Allah.

Abdi, I can so see you getting caught up for his wrong doings, in the ladies department.
Btw, since you're into hip-hop...do you like Dead Prez? I went to go see them last week.
Had a blast!

Your mom is 40 and you are 24? So she had you when you were, let me see, 16? She got married young..... Surprised

She's not actually 40, she's 42.....anyway, maxaa kaa galay? Does it really matter, or are you trying to show us that you're a math wizz.

Hannah, Dead Prezidents are awesome. They are not the conformist, "MTV" rappers. My cousin K'Naan starred in one of their videos.

When I used to work in Kenya, I noticed the police and immigration at the Airport never screwed around with me like they did with most Somalis.

I would get through customs without my bags being checked and this went on for months. One day I see my cousin stuck @ Customs. So I ask whats the problem as I picked up some Swahili. The guy says if she is with me. I say yeah. "Sorry, Officer. I did not know any better.' All this time, they assumed I was a CID officer.

so your bro is/was CID?

Post by **AbdiWahab252** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 11:51 am

Michael... Nah, a good friend of mine is CID. I assume by seeing us hanging out they assumed I was also one. I get mistook for law enforcement all the time. When I lived in the ghetto, the neighbors would put out their weed when they saw my car.
