Conversation while trying to put wide-awake Solom to bed after a long, long day.
Me: Okay betay, good night.
Solom: MAMA?
Me: Yes?
S: Solom's go OUT.
Me: Solom will do nothing of the sort. Solom will close his eyes and think of Allah and then Solom will Go. To. SLEEP. GOOD NIGHT.
S: MAMA!!!
Me: WHAT?
S (holding three fingers out): How many Allahs I have?
John Jani Jannardhan much? Amar Akbar Anthony marathon @mahwash: have you been emailing S links to Manmohan Desai movies?
ReplyDeleteWaise he could be doing a Sadequain. Curling his fingers three into Allah
Okay now I have to watch Manmohan Desai movies, evidently. Next movie title: Suleiman Shaitan Sadequain.

And I totally get your kid, Aaf. Ummah is sleeping and how many Allahs do people have.
That kid is a genius.
Ye aaj kal humari aadat hai. *holding out four fingers* "Mama, how many caterpillars I have?" "Uh, betay, zero." *holding up fist* "Zero means NOTHING!!!!"
