Sulaiman in the toilet pooping…
Yesterday:
Sulaiman: Mama! Anadan!
Me: Did you say “I’m done?”
Sulaiman: Anadan!
Me: You’re done?
Sulaiman: Anadan!
Me: Wanna wash your bum?
Sulaiman: No! Anadan! Not yet Mama! I still poo poo.
Today:
Sulaiman: Mama! Anadan!
Me: Does that mean “I’m not done?” So you’re not done?
Sulaiman: Anadan!

Sulaiman: Mama cooking food. Mama’s food is poo-poo.
Tasneem spent quite a lot her time helping Sulaiman write in his notebook and compose emails to their grandmother over the weekend. After she went home this happened…
Sulaiman: Look Mama, I made a telephone!
(Shows me his lego telephone creation)
Me: Wow that’s cool.
Sulaiman: I’m going to call Tasneem…
(“Dials” Tasneem’s phone number)
Sulaiman: Hello? Hi, this is Sulaiman.

When Mr Ninja’s parents came over for his dad’s birthday…
Neni: How old are you Sulaiman?
Sulaiman: I’m three years old.
Neni: Today is Atok’s birthday…
Sulaiman: Oh yah? How old is Atok?
Neni: Atok is sixty-three years old.
Sulaiman: Oh my goodness that is too many…
Sulaiman and I are watching TV and eating sunflower seeds (kuaci). He calls them nuts.
Sulaiman: Oh no! I lost my nuts!
Me: Whut?
Sulaiman: My nuts! They gone.
Me: You’re a boy. You’d better look for your nuts.
(Sulaiman looks down his t-shirt)
Sulaiman: Nope. Don’t have nuts under my baju (clothes)
Me: You should check in your shorts.
(Sulaiman looks in his shorts)
Sulaiman: I cannot find my nuts Mama. My nuts are gone.
Me: Did your nuts fall on the floor? Better check. I don’t want the ants to come and eat them.
(Sulaiman gets off the sofa and searches the floor)
Sulaiman: I got no nuts Mama. I lost my nuts.
I know it’s a little mean. But it’s also a little funny. I laughed throughout this conversation 😛
