The Musings of My Girls

Some days during English class I just want to have conversation with my girls to assess their speaking and listening skills.  Today the topic was "What is Haram?"  All year long my girls would tell me, "Don't do that Miss Mary, it is Haram".  So today I made a list.  Here, in their exact words, is a list of what is haram:
1. Showing your leg to a man you do not marry is haram.
2. Using food for math is haram. ( I think only when we do not eat it)
3. Wearing a necklace with a T is haram. (here they refer to my cross necklace)
4. Showing your hair to a boy is haram.
5. Eat pigs is haram.
6. Short hair like boy is haram.
7. You wear a short dress is short is haram.
8. If you call girl animal like dog or goat it is haram.
9. If you hit girl it is haram but not if the mom says yes.
10. Drink _________ (insert Arabic word for alcohol) is haram.
11. Steal is haram.
12. You make joke of Allah, Mohammed, or Islam is haram.
13. Tattoo is haram.
14. To kill a person is haram.
15. To kiss boy you are not married to is haram.
16. You draw picture of Mohammed is haram.
17. If you pray to the sun it is haram.
I could hardly help but laugh!  My girls really try hard to convert me.  Hate to tell them, but it will never happen!  I will add more as I hear them (which is often!).
