I’ve been suffering from strep throat and haven’t been able to speak for the past three days. We went to the doctor this morning and by my second antibiotic this evening I was able to speak.
Me: Ayub look! I can talk!
Ayub: Oh yeah! That’s good Mama. Wait… I want to see your tongue.
I stick out my tongue
Ayub: (nodding) Uh-huh, uh-huh. Now open your mouth.
I open my mouth
Ayub: Hmmm… It’s better Mama. You take your ubat (medicine)?
Me: Yes.
Ayub: Ok. Doctor says Mama have to eat all the ubat. And drink lots of water. Ok, Mama?
Me: Ok Ayub 🙂
