Well done to the girl...    

A Saudi girl changed her mind and refused to marry a man after his mother likened her to a chicken because of her slow walk.

The man had taken his mother to see the girl and formally request her marriage in line with tradition in the conservative Gulf Kingdom.

“When the girl entered the room where her would-be husband and his mother were waiting, the mother told her to hurry up,” Sada newspaper said in a report from the southern Saudi town of Sabya.

“She then said to her ‘why are you as slow as a chicken’….the girl was very angry and changed her mind about marrying that man.”

What a horrible mother. At least the bride to be had the luck to be able to escape her, but the poor son is stuck with the mean old woman!

I didn't know that the chicken is slow, one time I ran 10 miles escaping from that stupid chicken following me, and guess what, it was really fast :O(
