My friend Lala almost taught me to pray like a girl.

I'd been looking for someone I felt comfortable with to teach me to pray so I could be sure I was doing it right, and the nearest such ppl were a 45 minute drive away. So I visited old friends: a family whose oldest son and daughter I've been friends with for what seems like forever. Lala's older brother was out of town and not going to be around until after I left, and I figured, well, I guess Lala can just teach me.

Luckily she had to take a phone call from a mutual friend beforehand, and he told her "you know... guys and girls pray a little differently."

We had no idea. I still dunno what the difference is. We just got Lala's little brother, whom I've known for like... 8 years... to teach me.

alhamdulillah

cause like, otherwise I might have prayed like a girl for weeks--whatever that means. I'm sure God doesn't care, but even in the privacy of one's personal relationship with God...., how embarrassing would that be?
