Out of the Mouth of Babes

Short and sweet conversations with the cousins.

Cast:

Adnan -4 years old. Well I think he’s 4. He could be 3. Don’t say anything, I’m usually good with remembering such things.

Najat-now 8ish (I think) but at the time of the conversation she was about 5 or so. Again, I think (kidding!)

Last night while his mom was making desert, I tried to distract Adnan with a series of questions and this is what ensued.

Amira: “Adnan, what superheroes are on your PJ’s? Can you name them for me?”

Adnan: “Superheroes? Ok, yes, this one is Spiderman. This one is I-ran Man (Iron Man). This one is Hulkman.”

Amira: “Oh do you mean The Hulk?”

Adnan: “No. I mean Hulkman.” (walks away)

I stand corrected. And sort of dissed, actually.

This was a conversation between Najat and Elham (my sister) a few years ago. Eavesdropping on children is fun by the way.

Najat: “Do you know what happened?”

Elham: “What?”

Najat: “I tried to scare someone in the closet, but no one was there.”

Elham: “So what happened?”

Najat: “Nothing. I just scared the air.”
