Ayub, Sulaiman and I have been diagnosed with hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Nothing serious (sore throat, fever, ulcers, rashes) but we’re highly contagious so aren’t allowed out of the house.
Me: Ayub, it’s time for bed…
Ayub: Noooo… I don’t want to sleep.
Me: It’s ok. You can play again tomorrow… Because you’re not going to school.
Ayub: Oh yeah! Ayub is sick! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
And he runs to his bedroom, jumps on his bed and lies down.
