Me: Gosh, you’re getting so tall Tasneem. How old are you again? 6? 7?
Tasneem: No! I’m 9 years old!
Me: 9 years old?! Wow. You’re sooooooo grown up now.
Tasneem: 🙂
Me: How old do you think Uncle Ninja is?
Tasneem: Hmmm… I’m not sure. I think he looks… 18.
Mr Ninja: 🙂
Me: What about me?
Tasneem: Oh! You look much younger than Uncle Ninja. I think you must be 16!
Me: 🙂
Sulaiman: No Mama is not 16. Mama is three years old like Sulaiman. Sulaiman is three years old. Mama is three years old.
Tasneem: (speaking slowly) Oh-kay Sulaiman. If you say so.
Tasneem gives me a sideways look and smiles as if to say, “…children!”
