Not a Good Full Moon Phase for Ali

We're suppose to be experiencing a larger than usual full moon this month.  I don't know about other countries, but here in the U.S. we have a superstition about the full moon.  Many of us believe that some unfortunate, weird, or strange things can happen during a full moon.  There seem to be more accidents, crimes, and suicides during the full moon, so when something bad happens, we sometimes say, "Is it a full moon?"

Well, it is the full moon and today Ali came home from classes and found his beautiful suede robe, which he brought back from Saudi Arabia, on the floor of his room with four small pellets of dog poop on it.  Fortunately, the dog poop was not runny.  It was quite solid and easy to pick up, but I told him I would take it to the dry cleaner tomorrow to have it cleaned. 

I haven't met many students from Saudi Arabia who like dogs....so finding dog poop on his robe was very insulting and I felt concern for Ali.  He was very calm about the whole incident.  From an American perspective, though, it was very funny.  I know Ali would say there was nothing funny about it.

We know who the bad dog was.  Here is her picture:



Kali was a naughty, naughty girl today.
