We’re in the car, on the way home from an adventure. The boys sing a bunch of songs really badly. Sulaiman tries to teach Mr Ninja and I how to speak Mandarin. Ayub talks about trains and buildings and construction. This information is not relevant to the following conversation. But I just wanted to add it because I had such a lovely adventure with my three boys, I want to remember it later š
Ayub: Ayub become theĀ baby then become a boy.
Me: Yeah, you were born a baby boy. Now you’re a big boy.
Ayub: Later Ayub become a man like Ayah. Ayah is a man.
Mr Ninja: Later you’ll become an Ayah like Ayah.
Ayub: What?!
Me: When you’re a man, one day you’ll have babies and you’ll be the Ayah.
Ayub: Yeaaaah… Ayub become the Ayah.
Sulaiman: And Sulaiman become the Mama!
Me: Noooo… SulaimanĀ alsoĀ become an Ayah. Sulaiman will grow up and become a man. And you’ll be an Ayah.
Sulaiman: No. Sulaiman is the Mama!
