So by now, Chonou is a pro at driving motorbike, such a pro that we considered getting him glasses to wear so he doesn't get "stuff" in his eyes while he's riding in front, holding onto the handlebars. He now goes everywhere with his Chacha(uncle) on the bike, except maybe when Chacha has to go to class.
Chonou also rode a rikshaw for the first time. He sat in the back with me and Baji (prime falling off zone). We also found out that it's prime "throwing stuff off the back of the rikshaw" zone when he threw a juicebox off the back on our way home. I think he's turning into quite the pakistani, contributing to Pakistan's pollution level. Man, Attock has enough garbage everywhere as is it, they don't need more.
So why was Chonou riding the rikshaw you might ask? Well, we went to bazaar with him. What fun! We went right after praying dhur(a few hours after it came in). Chonou just wanted to ride the bikes that were parked everywhere. He liked one shop where he realized that the cloth was right. there. and he could take advantage of that to wear hijab and pray. But this shop keeper was kinda crazy, lol, he knew we were shopping for me, and Baji didn't like the fabrics, but he kept trying to make her buy a suit too. He was trying so hard to sell these ugly suits to her that he had to take the cloth away from Chonou to show it again, and Chonou didn't mind, he just got another cloth from the now huge pile of ugly fabrics that the guy had taken out.
But Chonou saw food in the middle of the bazaar and he wanted some. But he was pointing to this rock hard candy covered peanuts thing and well, he doesn't even like those, let alone be able to chew them. Baji thought we should look for chips, meaning potato chips, or crisps, but also meaning french fries, I guess, because we ended up at a french fry stand, and man, those things looked gross, but maybe that's because french fries just always look gross to me unless I make them. Or maybe it was because they were soggy and really did look gross. Allahu Alim. We ended up getting him cookies and a juice box(the soon to be thrown off the rikshaw juice box.) Then we had to do some other stuff, and we looked at more kupre, and there was only a half hour until maghrib, we hadn't prayed asr, then chonou started getting grumpy about the salah being so late, he tried to run away a few times, we were down to 20 minutes, I was threatening to pray in the bazaar, but there was still a few things that ummi had to do(i.e the entire reason for going to bazaar in the first place.) Alhamdulillah, we made it home in time to pray, with like, 3 minutes to spare.
