So we are staying in a Palace (. All through Morocco they
have these palaces that have been remolded and somewhat updated and are available
for guest to stay in like hotels, called Riads, except they only have about 20
rooms. So the girls are crazy pumped, they think we live here and they keep
saying “I knew we were princesses, I knew were princesses”. Every time we come
out of our room someone is there to greet us and ask if we need anything (in
French of course). They are all over Maheeyah, picking her up to sit on the couch,
pouring her mint tea all day, giving her candy, kissing her forehead, so she
has started calling everyone her servant…lol… We went to a restaurant and Maheeyah
stood by her chair and waited for the host to pick her up and put her in her
seat. Then she said “thank you my servant”….. lol…. But if she is doing
something wrong and someone tells her to stop, then she frowns her face and
says, “you are not my servant anymore” ..lol… I told her “ 1) they are not your
servants, 2) being a servant is not a privilege”. She is off the hook!!! Today
we went to a Hammam, it is a bath house like the Korean ones we have in the US.
The only thing is because this is the desert and they are not wasteful in
Africa; instead of the big pools of water they have big buckets of water and
keep filling up for you. They also have woman that will scrub you, and you don’t
know clean until you’ve been scrubbed down by an old Moroccan Grandma. When we
got there I have planned to just get myself scrubbed and washed, but they did
the girls too. Afterwards Maheeyah says “see
mommy I told you she is my servant, I’m a princess and that’s why she washed me
up”! I don’t think I’m going to win this one.
