Davina said when Hira entered the house that she doesn`t like to be up late.
Has she stayed in bed since she went in then? HLs should tell us that at least.

she prays 5 times a day, so maybe its her prayer time
Funny isn't it how she can dress the way she does and still be a practising muslim. It is possible.
Me, I work in a primary school, I wear more clothes than Hira...but yet I get questioned by 7-8 yr olds if am a muslim and do I pray 5 times a day in a mosque! I was feckin fuming!

Interesting comment from someone who works in an educational establishment.

I've always been a liberal muslim, it's the way we were brought up. I work in a school where it's predominantly pakistani children and they are forever questioning me.

Absolutely Mozart.
Just last week, I was on lunchtime duty and as it was raining it wa classroom lunches.
This lad in yr 4 (my son's year)...put his hand up and asked 'miss are you a muslim?' I thought where did this come from....do you ask all your teachers/teacher assistants this!
I simply replied (remember I had already spoken to assistant head the week before about the yr 3s)...'do not ask a member of staff a personal question!' He promptly shut up.
My son has been badgered for the last 2 yrs about it, and he has been at the school since early years!
I get fed up!

I worked in a school after I'd had a baby who had sadly died and one of the school mums had told their childand it went round the school like wild fire...
In the playground I was getting kids coming up to me saying things like 'Is your baby dead?' and 'What did she look like when she was dead?' etc, etc I wanted to cry and dissolve but had to put on a front answer as best I could and when I had time to myself sobbed in the loo.
Kids will be kids with no real thought for feelings or right or wrongs but sometimes you do just wanna say 'What the bloody hell does it have to do with you?'!!!
Just because you 'think' some things doesn't make you a bad person.
Oh Lazybug that must have been so tough. This situation is so different to the one experienced by Mozart because I am sure the kids meant no harm, they just have horribly enquiring minds
