The Kids & Their Aunt
I am not a girly girl so the boys have never waited more than 10 minutes for me to get ready. Mr Ninja’s little sister, Aunty Adik, on the other hand took two hours to get dressed (love u Adik Ninja muh muh!)
Ayub: Are we going now?
Me: Not yet baby, we have to wait for Aunty Adik.
Ayub: Oh my Gooood it’s so slooooow…
Me: Yeah… I’m sure Aunty Adik is nearly done…
Ayub: Are we going to wait FOREVER?!
Sulaiman: Before Sulaiman is 3 years old… Now Sulaiman is 6 years old…
Me: It does feel like a long time…
(pause)
Sulaiman: Soon Sulaiman become 100 years old…
Ayub: And then we die.
