7 Facts about Ardent

Well thanks to lovely Derya,
I have been tagged, which means I must divulge 7 bits of personal trivia:))

1. I have an enormous extended family – Brothers, nephews, nieces, Aunts, Uncles and so many Cousins, some of whom I now only manage to catch up with at weddings and funerals.

2. Every dog I owned as a child was a stray.

3. I got married when I was 20 years old, too young by today’s standard but I am very happily married.

4. My husband has a mistress. Well that’s what he calls his Harley!

5. With the destruction of the Rain Forests a lot of Orchid species will become extinct. That is why I collect rare species, in hope of saving some orchid species from extinction. That is my bit for the environment.

6. I hate housework, even though my children complain that I am obsessed with cleanliness.

7. My first political observation and learning experience was with my father when I was about 10 years old. I remember the conversation because my father nearly choked on his food. It was at the Dinner table and we were watching the news at the same time. The News program showed a report about Israel and the Palestinians. During the commercial break I casually informed every one of my school teacher’s thoughts, stating,
‘My teacher said that the Palestinians gave that land to the Jews because the land was all sand and worthless. And now that the Jews have built homes and irrigated the land, the greedy Palestinians want their land back.’
My astounded father asked, ‘Did your teacher say that?’ and I said, ‘Yes!’
‘Well’, my father exclaimed, ‘Well, you let your teacher think that!’
It was at that point I understood that every subject had opposing opinions and some opinions were downright lies.
