How To Make A Cute Little Nerd Cry

The conversation in the car when I picked the kids up from school

 

Sulaiman: Mama, Sulaiman is cry in the school today.

Me: Sulaiman cried? Oh no, what happened?

Sulaiman: Sulaiman cry at the teacher.

Me: Why did you cry at the teacher? What happened?

Sulaiman: I want to color the paper.

Me: And then..? The teacher didn’t allow you to color the paper?

Sulaiman: I color so beautiful color on the paper.

Me: You colored beautiful colors on the paper?

Sulaiman: Yah. So beautiful color.

Me: Then why did you cry?

Sulaiman: Because Sonia is take my paper and the color.

Me: Sonia took your paper away?

Sulaiman: No. Sonia is color on the Sulaiman paper!

 

Very upset by the whole debacle, Sulaiman opens his schoolbag and takes out the paper with his”so beautiful color” and showed me where Sonia had apparently ruined it to the point that it led to him crying.

I circled it in the image above.

A Case Study Example Of A Child Being Adorable Without Even Knowing It

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!”
