There’s a knock on the front door and Ayub immediately jumps up and follows Mr Ninja to open it. It’s a group of teenage boys from our neighborhood collecting donations for the community surau. I hear the following conversation from my bedroom…
Teen boy: Assalamualaikum…
Ayub: Hi! Who’s that Ayah? Hey! Where’s my pizza?!
Mr Ninja: (Says something I can’t hear)
Ayub: There’s no pizza Ayah? Where’s it?!
Teen boy: (Says something else I can’t hear)
Ayub: Mamaaaaa!!! They forgot to bring the pizza!
(Ayub runs to my room)
Me: I didn’t order pizza Ayub… We literally just ate dinner.
Ayub: Oh. Then what they doing here? I like pizza.
