Me: Ayub… Sulaiman… Wake up, it’s the first day of school!
Ayub: Noooo…
Me: Wake up baby…
Ayub: It’s still night time…
Me: It’s 6am. It’s dark but it’s already morning.
Ayub: Noooooo… it’s night time…
Sulaiman: What..? It’s night time? Mama, it’s night time.
Me: No, it’s morning. But early early morning.
Sulaiman: Wait. I want to see. I cannot see.
Sulaiman pulls back the curtains in the room.
Sulaiman: It’s NIGHT TIME! MAMAAAAA!! It’s still night time! Why you make me wake up Mama? Whyyyyyy?
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?
Sulaiman: When Aishah comes, she can sleep on my bed.
Ayub: That’s not your bed, it’s MY bed.
Sulaiman: No, it’s Sulaiman small bed!
Ayub: It was Ayub small bed because Ayub was first and Mama buy for me because I’m the first!
Sulaiman: But Sulaiman is the first to be second! Right Mama? I’m the second first.
Me: Yup, you are.
Sulaiman: So Aishah can sleep in MY bed. Because I’m the first to be second.
Me: Ayah, can you bathe the children please?
(Sulaiman drops to his hands and knees dramatically)
Sulaiman: Mamaaaaa..!
Me: What happened?!
Sulaiman: My tummy is so painful!
Me: Really?!
Sulaiman: I… cannot… bathe…
Me: Oh.
