A painting of me

In the style of a traditional Iranian mother, she would pretend, for five days, that I did not exist; thaw on the sixth; and on the seventh have forgotten the episode entirely, convinced that my rude friends, who didn’t even say Salam to her when they came over, were responsible for ruining my manners.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
