How Come?

A young Arab boy asks his father:

What is this strange hat that we are wearing?

It's a "chechia" - because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun.

And what is this weird type of clothing that we are wearing?

It's a "djbellah" - because in the desert it is very hot and it protects your body!

And what are these ugly shoes that we have on our feet?

These are "babouches" - which keep us from burning our feet on the hot desert sand!

Tell me, papa...

Yes, my son?

Why are we living in Dearborn - and still wearing all of this stuff?
