Me: What’s the new boy’s name?
Sulaiman: (mumbles something that sounds like Noh)
Me: His name is Noh?
Sulaiman: Nooooo…
Ayub: What, no?
Me: I thought Sulaiman said his friend’s name is Noh.
Ayub: No, is like “n” and “o.”
Me: Yes, that’s “no.” But Noh is a name. Of a person. It’s a boy’s name.
Ayub: What boy?
Me: Sulaiman’s friend.
Sulaiman: Noooooooooh…
Ayub: No is like no.
Me: No, Noh is like n-o-h. No is n-o.
Ayub: Oh, I know! Like “I know!”
Me: Haha no, that’s “know” like k-n-o-w. This is Noh like n-o-h.
Sulaiman: Nonononononono…
Me: So is his name Noh?
Sulaiman: Noh. It’s Jeremy.
