Because here's the trick: Tall people can be self-conscious about their height and skinny about their weight. It's not always appreciated.

At the mall my daughter and I passed a family and the wife was dressed in Niqab (only the eyes showing) and she said, "She's beautiful!" 1/2

Oh man, our biomedical dept was full of hijabis, I wonder if that's typical.

Hey, I know you :). What school? VTech? I think it's just because its a hot field now. I don't do BME though - I chose passion over money.

I appreciate the use of slang in a sentence - I feel like I visited urban dictionary without leaving Imgur.

My mom, who wears a niqab, told me that one time a cute little kid called her a ninja and she had a ~5 minute conversation with him

The sad thing is if an adult said that, people would just look at them funny. :(

Not if they said it in a joyful or excited manner! Disclaimer:people might think it immature though. Sometimes there's no winning for adults

I'd walk up to them and whisper "Are you a ninja?"

Exactly! And honestly, I think the ninja-association with the niqab - in my mom's case, at least - is adorable, b/c kids love ninjas

Out of curiosity (Anthropologist, I can't help myself sometimes) does she wear it out of choice or are you from a more conservative family?

I just want to thank you guys for having this dialogue. I learned so much from it, two years later. :)

We are from a more conservative family, but she wears it out of choice, and my sister (16) and I (19) wear hijabs out of choice. (1/2)

Touche, it could very honestly be both. Didn't have room to really account for all options though. +1 for you either way!
