Sulaiman: Mama boobs so big!!
Me: Ok.
Sulaiman: Mama boobs gonna EXPLODE!!!
Me: Thanks.
Sulaiman: BOOOOOOM!!!
Me: Go away small child.
Sulaiman: (running around in circles hysterically) AAAAAAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!
Meanwhile Ayub is already fast asleep in bed…
Sulaiman: Mama I cannot sleep…
Me: Why?
Sulaiman: (big sigh) I’m too small…
Me: You’re too small to sleep?
Sulaiman: Yeaaaah… 🙁
Me: Hmmm… Well, you’re going to grow bigger and bigger…
Sulaiman: Yes Mama. That’s why I cannot sleep. I have to wait until I am bigger. Because I’m too small…
Me: Uhhh…
Sulaiman: Later when I’m bigger then I can sleep, ok?
Me: And how long will that take..?
Sulaiman: Like 100 minutes.
Big Tummy = Pregnant

Ayub: And Ayah also!
Me: Ayah?
Ayub: Ayah tummy bigger like Mama because got baby inside!

Sulaiman: RAWR!
Me: Something’s not quite right here…
I Wonder If This Will Continue To Happen When They’re Teenagers…
I walk into the living room to find Ayub playing on the computer and Sulaiman curled up and concentrating with a pencil and book.
Me: Whachu doin Sulaiman?
Sulaiman: Homework.
Me: Whaa… You got homework?!
Sulaiman: No, this is Ayub’s homework.
Me: Hey, no… You can’t do Ayub’s homework. Ayub?
Ayub: It’s ok Mama. I don’t want to do it. Sulaiman want to do.
Me: No no no… Sulaiman stop. You can’t do Ayub’s homework for him. Ayub you have to do your own homework.
Sulaiman: But I want to do homework!!
Ayub: And I don’t want to do homework!!
Me: It doesn’t work that way, I’m sorry…
Sulaiman bursts into tears and multi-feet-stamp-tantrums. The page of homework he completed for Ayub is of course 100% perfect.
