Ayub: Mama, why is Ayub spelled A Y U B?
Me: Because that’s how it’s spelled baby.
Ayub: But “EYE-YUB,” it’s like EYE-YUB.
Me: Yessss…
Ayub: Why it’s not I Y U B like Iyub?
Me: Because the letter “i” makes an “ee” sound.
Ayub: What. Then what sound does the letter “e” make?
Me: The letter “e” makes the “uh” sound.
Ayub: What. Uh?
Me: The letter “a” makes an “ah” sound like “ah-yub.” With an “i” it would be “ee-yub.”
Ayub: But the iPad is like “i” and Ayah iPhone is like “i” and Ayub is also like “iYub.”
Me: Ok. iYub.
