Me: Ayub, do you know where eggs come from?
Ayub: Yeah, from the supermarket!
Me: Haha, no actually they come from chickens!
Ayub: Oh yeah! The chickens carry the eggs in the supermarket Mama?
Me: Yeah, kind of.
Mr Ninja: Ayub, Ayub! Do you know where babies come from?
Ayub: Yeah! Babies come from Mama’s tummy!
Mr Ninja: Noo-
Me: Yes, that is correct. Babies come from Mama’s tummy. Go away Ayah.
Mr Ninja: Hehehe
Getting ready to go to their grandparents’ place and Ayub has his schoolbag on his back, Sulaiman’s schoolbag on his front, a water bottle in one hand, and a straw hat on his head.
Me: Hahaha… Ayub, you look like a tourist!
Ayub: What?! A tourist?
Me: Yeah, a cute little tourist.
Ayub: A tourist… Is that like a dinosaur?
Me: No no, a tourist is a person on holiday.
Ayub: Hmm… I think I look like a dinosaur like rawr!
Me: Ok.
Ayub: (thinking for a while) I NEED A GUN!
Talking to Ayub after our pasta dinner.
Ayub: Is the baby in the tummy eating now?
Me: Yeah, maybe.
Ayub: Is she eating pasta?
Me: Yeah, the same pasta Mama just ate.
Ayub: Awwww… She likes pasta, like Ayub.
Me: Yeah.
Ayub: What if she chokes Mama? Ohmygod she can choke Mama! What’s going to happen? How? The baby is choking on pasta!
Me: No, she won’t choke. Don’t worry. It’s all liquid, like water… And… she doesn’t drink it in her mouth… it goes to her belly button.
Ayub: …What?! She drink in her belly button?!
Me: Well… yes.
Ayub: Oh my God baby why?!
Picking up the kids from playschool.
Teacher: Bye Sulaiman! Bye Yub!
Me: Bye!
Ayub: It’s Ayub.
Teacher: Bye!
Ayub: Mamaaaa it’s not Yub, it’s Ayub. Why she say Yub? Who’s Yub? Whyyyy?!
Me: Maybe she thought it sounds cute. Like how sometimes Mama calls Sulaiman “Maman” and I call you “Yubyub.”
Ayub: Nooooo it’s AYUB. AH-YUB. Only. Ayub.
Me: Ouch!
Ayub: What happened Mama?
Me: I got a cramp.
Ayub: Is it the baby? Did the baby poop?
