Friday evening with Ayesha was such a laugh! She had tons of tales about her new SiL that had us all in stitches!
Nothing brings guji women together quiet like gibbaat of other guji women...so while Ayesha had enough stories for many a novels...she also had a very attentive audience made up of MiL, Sumaya, Shireen and I.
Ayesha's youngest BiL had just married a month ago and his new bride had brought her own drama to the household.
Ayesha gleefully told us about the day her MiL had to rewash Every.Single.Thing in the kitchen...Everything!
"Everything!", exclaimed Shireen, " Why on earth!"
" Ay that Gori Bhen has a problem! She likes to wash dishes too much! How she washed everything that time we came for supper..Areh areh...then she put clean clean dishes in the dishwasher! Jaa-Jaa!", My MiL said.
Sumaya was nodding in agreement, while shireen and I looked at each other shocked!
"Wait...wait...it gets better!", Ayesha said, trying to hold her laughter.
"when Suleman and Rizwaana came back from honeymoon, after supper we never let her help, nuwe dulhaan and everything...so as usual my MiL 'rinsed' all the supper dishes and loaded the dishwasher, she always puts it on after breakfast everyday.
Anyway, in the morning when I got the kitchen I set the table and made breakfast and lunch for Qasim and the boys.
After breakfast my MiL went to put the dirty 'rinshed' breakfast dishes in the washer but the dishwasher was empty!
Aye she was panicing!
Then Rizwaana told us she woke up early and emptied the dishwasher and packed all the clean dishes away!"
We all looked at Ayesha with our mouths hanging open as we put two and two together!
O.M.W!
Ayesha nodded laughing!
"Yup, she thoughed all the dirty dishes in there were already washed! That's how clean my MiL rinses them! So she packed it away...
My MiL almost fainted! She rewashed Every.Single.Thing in the kitchen...by HAND! Coz she didn't know where what went!", Ayesha ended in laughter...
Shoh...i almost felt sorry for her MiL, poor thing! And poor Rizwaana! She must have been mortified!
"wait wait! That's not all...have you ever eaten dholl and kitchri?", Ayesha asked us.
" eeew! No!", Sumaya said.
" Ayee...whats that?", Shireen asked.
" That's what I had for Jumuah lunch last Friday!", Ayesha said with a naughty smile.
" Jaa-Jaa!...ghandi waat!", MiL said, shaking her head at Ayesha.
"Last Friday my MiL told Rizwaana to cook, so Rizwaan decided to make dholl and rice, aloo fry, paapar, fried fish, sorji, salsa and she even went and broke mangos from the neighbours tree to make fresh methi pickle...", Ayesha explained.
"Sounds yummy!", I said.
" Yah, it was! She went through so much trouble...except she stressed herself out so much she put Urud(tumeric) in the rice!", Ayesha said in another fit of laughter.
" whaaaaat!!!", we all said together, laughing in disbelief!
"yup! She tried to rinse it out but it was too late and she couldn't waste 4 cups of rice! Yes...she made enough yellow rice for 20 people!", Ayesha finished.
Shame, I was amused but I also felt sorry for this Rizwaana girl...being a new DiL is no easy thing...little boo-boos kinda freak you out.
For the rest of the evening Ayesha entertained us with all her stories...but the real gem of the day came from my MiL who said...
Drum roll please...
" at least my DiLs have ackaal (common sense)..."
Oh but she said it so off handedly we didn't even get a chance to bask in the glow of her backhanded compliment...
