Sulaiman: Is it my birthday yet?
Me: No yet baby.
Sulaiman: (big sigh) Why it’s so loooooong..?
Me: Your birthday is in less than a month. Just enjoy being 3 years old. This is your last time to be 3 years old FOREVER!
Sulaiman: I don’t want to be 3 years old. I want to be 4 years old. 3 years old is too small. 4 years old is like SO BIG!
Me: Yeah.
Sulaiman: (big sigh) It’s not fair. I never get a chance.
Sulaiman: Next month I’m going to be 4 years old!
Me: Yup!
Sulaiman: And then 5 years old, then 6 years old, then 7 years old, then 8 years old, then 9 years old, then 10 years old, then 11 years old, then 12 years old, then 30 years old like Ayah!
Me: Uhhhh…
Sulaiman: Then when I’m 30 years old I can drive a car like fast and safe and be tall and play computer game and shoot people. Like Ayah!
Me: Ok.
Sulaiman: Mama I got homework!
Me: Wow! Your first homework ever!
Sulaiman: Yeah! I finish it already in school just now!
Me: Hahahaha ok baby.
Sulaiman: I like homework!
Me: I know.
Sulaiman: HOMEWOOOOORK!
Sulaiman: I like Mama.
Me: I like Sulaiman.
Sulaiman: I love you.
Me: I love you too.
Sulaiman: I love you all the day.
Me: And I love you all through the day and the night!
Sulaiman: Mama?
Me: Yes baby?
Sulaiman: Can I have your phone now?
Me: Ayah, can you bathe the children please?
