*Shisha, a.k.a. hooka or nargilla, is a waterpipe used for smoking flavored tobacco. Last year in Egypt, I learned that shisha really is a way of life in Middle Eastern countries. We even bought our own shisha, though we rarely use it--and never while I'm pregnant. While in Israel and Jordan, the boys were able to enjoy this local pastime, while I sat out. It's obviously for the best, but I definitely missed the experience.
