My Ammi's my mom. It's what I call her at home. Ammi, Abu, my dad, and Aamir, my older brother. Titles and stuff. They have names but they're a bit traditional.
Ammi stays at home while Abu works at a bank. Aamir stays at home too, because he wants a job that won't offend Allah. But he and Abu argue all the time because Abu's a banker and Aamir sticks to the old traditions, calls it usury by nature.
[She shrugged.] As for myself, I'm finding my place in the world, a fact complicated by finding out that I'm half alien and have the clone of Thomas Edison mucking up the town. He got spliced with a bird somehow in the growth process by the way.
