I do not get it...you cant eat while the sun is up. My husband is in Morocco visiting family...and today is the first day of Ramadan. He just called bitching because all the restaurants are closed and you cant eat in public...or I guess people freak out and kill you or something... who knows. He got pissy when I started laughing at him.
Muslim people do this for like one month... and he cant seem to do it for one day, He leaves to come home early in the AM tomorrow. I guess it has been 10 years since he has been in a Ramadan country ...during ramadan
He said he cant even go out and look around, because it is hot- and you cant even drink in the daylight hours during this shittie holiday. I dont get what this holiday provides.. what if you are hypoglycemic?
its kinda funny- because every holiday we have, I have explain to him why we do the things we do.... and he never gets it (and neither do I ) and he always says they are stupid.
here what he says EVERY year about holidays- and well I kinda see his point
Easter - " so Jesus died and we have to eat boiled eggs?"
Thanksgiving - " you stole land from Indians - so we have to go to your sister's house and eat turkey?"
Christmas - "its Jesus Birthday - so we have to buy shit for everyone we know?"
Valentines - "you dont even know why we have this day- but I have to buy you crap?"
4th of July- "so why do we have to be in a parade and throw candy at kids"
St Patricks - "another day you dont know why we celebrate- yet we have to go to Savannah and drink green beer"
Halloween - " why do you get to go out dressed stupid , and I don't"
I cant wait till he calls another holiday STUPID... I have my -'go back to Morocco and starve for a month' - speech ready to rumble.
