I Look Like I Mug Elderly Ladies

Dear adorable little fluffy white dog,

It is absolutely unnecessary to be barking ferociously at me every single time you see me, even when you see me from far, say 40 feet away. It hurts my fragile self-esteem, especially since all the other dogs in the neighbourhood (not as cute as you, of course) never pay any attention to me. It is also embarrassing since it puts me in the spotlight and everyone else, who happens to be near, stares at me whenever you do that, and you know that I am such a shy girl. Every night before I sleep, I question myself: What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much? Is it the colour of my headscarf? 

The owner, a lovely elderly lady, as she held onto your leash tightly so that you would not jump on me and bite my head off, tried to make things better by saying that you are just trying to protect her from me. But I am not convinced.

After all, she's the one rummaging through the dumpster every evening. 

Yours sincerely,
The Hilarious Hijabi.

You Smell So Good!

I've been told that I smell really nice in the most bizarre way ever. I was at the airport and waiting in line for security checks, and as usual, since I wear loose clothing and a headscarf, I get "special treatment". 

Giant African-American Lady Officer (GAALO): (while patting me all over) Mmmmmm you smell so good! What do you use? 
Me: (mind goes blank and starts mumbling 'cos it's 5 a.m.) Ermthanksithinkitisjasmine. 
GAALO: Jasmine? 
Me: (attempts to wave it off nonchalantly) Oh yeah, you can't get it over here. 
GAALO: Can I pat your head and your neck?
Me: O_O Yeah I guess.
GAALO: (nods cheerfully) Mmmmm ok you're done! Have a nice day! 
Me: Ermthanksyoutoo. (scrambles to take all of my stuff and get out of there as quickly as possible)

She's a really nice lady. Please don't tell her that I didn't have time to shower before rushing to the airport.
