'Most parents want their children to go to school to get them out of the house!' Prince Philip reduces Malala (the girl Taliban shot for getting an education) to giggles


By JAMES RUSH
The schoolgirl who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban because of her campaign for education got the giggles after Prince Philip made a joke during a visit to Buckingham Palace today.
Malala Yousafzai, 16, covered her face with her hand as she laughed following the Duke's quip that in Britain, people want children to go to school to get them out of the house.
She also presented the Queen with her book as she visited Buckingham Palace as one of the guests at a reception for commonwealth, youth and education, hosted by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Malala was shot in the head in Pakistan last October after campaigning for the rights of girls to go to school without fear, in a part of the country where Islamic fundamentalists were trying to impose a strict form of Sharia law.
The teenager, accompanied by her father Ziauddin, gave the Queen a copy of her book, I Am Malala, during their meeting in the palace's White Drawing Room.
She told her: 'It is a great honour for me to be here, and I wanted to present you with this book.'

Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...
