I Have Aids.....No, Seriously!

Hi friends,

I have a confession to make. I have aids. No seriously, I have aids. I wonder if that would change your attitude towards me. I wonder if you would still look at me in the same way you looked at me prior to my confession. I wonder if you think I am some pervert having pre-marital sex whereby I caught aids. I wonder what you are wondering now. I have aids.

A typical conversation with an adult when I reveal I have aids:

Me: Assalam-u-alaikum
Uncle: Walaikum-salaam. Kya haal hai beta?(how are you son?)
Me: I am fine. Aur aap ka kya haal hain? (and how are you?)
Uncle:Al-hamdulillah.

After some usual topics discussed, which includes "what class are you in? (man, i am working now!!), what sports do you play, why aren't you married, what is your height, where are you working, they almost always ask me the one thing:

Uncle: Beta... what is that in your ear?
Me: : Oh, uncle, I have AIDS

Uncle is mortified. He is shocked. He tries to give me a faint smile. Sometimes, uncle take a step backwards. He doesn't know how to react. In his eyes, that have widened, I see he wants to run away from me. How typical of such people.

Uncle: (somewhat shocked) Really?
Yes. I have AIDS

Letting uncle live in shock for a while, I continue...

Me: Uncle, relax. I have hearing aids.

So there you go! I wonder if you still see me with the sames eyes prior to this post.

Mansur
