Ramadan Ramblings..day 3

I could've been put in jail! There's a frequent rumour that goes around during Ramadan that if you get caught/seen eating or drinking or chewing gum during the Holy month, then you are put in jail for the remainder of the month. 
I took one of my girl kiddos out shopping and we ended our trip buying some of her favorite British candies. The moment we were out the shop, I grabbed them out the bag and almost opened them to devour together when she shouted "Mom, it's Ramadan!!".

I forgot. Not eating or drinking in public-even in a car. Eating in the mall, such a public place, would have been really bad. So saved from jail by my teenager. Whew!
