In the car on the way back from school:

Ayub: Mama! There’s an ant in the car, Mama. There’s an ant! An ant on my window, Mama, there’s an ant!

Me: Squish it.

Ayub: Squish it Mama? Squish the ant?

Sulaiman: Nooooooooooo!!! Cannot squish the ant! The ant is my friend.

Me: The ant is your friend?

Sulaiman: Yah. The ant is my friend. Cocoyo said cannot squish the ant the ant is my friend cannot squish. The ant. The ant is Cocoyo friend and Sulaiman friend. So we cannot hurt the ant. We only play with the ant. Because the ant is my friend.

Me: But you vacuumed all the ants in the house yesterday…

Sulaiman: YAH! I vacuum all the ant like (making vacuuming movements) VRRRRRROOOOOOMMM!!!

We were having dinner at Burger Junkyard. A local burger joint that we love. They give you a toy rat with a number tag after you order so they know where to deliver your burgers.

Every time we go, the boys will take a rat each and play with them while we wait for food.

Me: I like your rat Sulaiman

Sulaiman: It’s not rat. It’s a mouse!

Me: I’m pretty sure it’s a rat…

Ayub: No Mama. Sulaiman is correct. It’s a mouse.

Me: Fine. What are you going to name your mouse?

Sulaiman: Hmmmm… Skymouse!

Me: Hahahaha… And what about you Ayub?

Ayub: Errrr… Snaaa..?

Me: Snaaa?

Ayub: Snaaa.

Me: That’s his name? Snaaa?

Ayub: Yeah! Snaaaaaaaaaaaa…

Sulaiman: And Skymouse!

 

Ayub is special 🙂
