Pretty Much Every Argument Ever

From my bedroom I hear Sulaiman crying. In the living room he and Ayub are sitting on the floor, facing each other, a stack of books in Sulaiman’s hands.

Me: What happened?

Sulaiman: (crying)

Me: Sulaiman, why are you crying?

Sulaiman: (wiping his tears away) I don’t want Ayub to be angry with me.

Me: I’m sure Ayub is not angry with you. You’re not angry with Sulaiman, right Ayub?

Ayub: I’m angry with Sulaiman!

(Sulaiman bursts into more tears.)

Me: Why are you angry with Sulaiman?

Ayub: Because… ANGRY!

Sulaiman Logic

 

Sulaiman: Yesterday Sulaiman was a baby.

Me: Ok.

Sulaiman: But now… Sulaiman is a brother.

Me: Well you were a baby brother, now you’re a big boy brother…

Sulaiman: No Mamaaaaa… Sulaiman cannot be baby and brother! Yesterday I’m baby. Now I’m brother ONLY.
