Amman has been comparatively cold for the past week, and all the Jordanians and Iraqis are breaking out their winter clothes, which is funny to see with my smug sense of superiority after living in Minnesota.
One of the other teachers at the Ashrafiyya school for Iraqis where I volunteer always wears a hijab. However, yesterday, she wore a thick knit hat and a big scarf around her neck. I realized that for four Minnesota winters, I had worn the hijab daily without even realizing it.
I should probably stop before I get more blasphemous, but saying "peace be upon him" followed by "dontcha know" is a wonderful wonderful thing.
