#PostJan25 changing times

أمي:رايح فين يبني؟ أنا:رايح الجامعة يا ماما و بعدين رايح مظاهرة. أمي:طيب ما تتأخرش علشان نتفرج علي أيمن نور بليل علي أون تيفي#PostJan25 #fb

My friend Muhammad tweeting about a conversation between him and his mother:
My Mom: Where are you going son?
Me: I’m going to university, then heading to a protest.
My Mom: Ok, don’t be late, Dr. Ayman Nour will be on ONTV tonight.

Compare this conversation to pre-25 Jan times. One had to lie to his parents about going to protests. Parents wouldn’t really care that much whether some “politician” showed up on TV speaking or not. And probably mothers would urge their children to come back home on time to catch a soap opera on TV with the rest of family members.

Everyone is “political” these days. That’s what revolution does to people.
