I’m not sure yet to be flattered or shocked! The other day I was having a conversation with my stepson. I guess I did not realize how “Saudized” I had become in some of my speech and mannerisms. We were talking in general on how he is doing at University and on hearing that he has been doing very well, without any conscious thought I responded, “Al humdillallah” which basically means “Thanks to God.” My stepson chuckled and told me I said that just like a real religious Saudi and perhaps I should think of volunteering for the female Muttawa!
