Ahmed, My Nephew
A conversation between my sister and her 7 year old son...
Ahmed: Mom
Mom: Yes honey
Ahmed: I don't want to go to school tomorrow! I don't want to go to school... period.
Mom: That's fine by me... but why?
Ahmed: I know how to speak both English and Arabic just fine, and I also have some basics in French. I think I am covered
Mom: OK! No worries, but just answer one question for me, Okay?
Ahmed: Yes mommy
Mom: What does globalization mean?
Ahmed: I mean I am Arabic, and such word in English is no big deal to me
Mom: Fine, then tell me what is عولمه (which is a translation of the same word in Arabic)
Ahmed: Well, what I really meant is that I am Kuwaiti.
Mom: Fine. Then don't go to school
Ahmed: *SHOCKED*
At the gas station
Mom: See that guy filling our car with gas? The poor man did not get the chance to finish school
Ahmed: *Silent*
Mom: So Ahmed... .when you grow up, just tell me which gas station you like and I will work all kind of "wasta" (connections) for you
At night, before Ahmed went to bed
Ahmed: Mom
Mom: Yes honey?
Ahmed: Please wake me up for school tomorrow
Mom: Sure :-) Good night baby :-*
Ahmed: Good night mom

Conversation between myself and my future son.
Potential Dropout Son : Hey dad
Dad : Yo
PDS : I don't want to go to school tomorrow
Dad *poof boom* punch that mofo well out of it and give him a black eye preemptively for any future stupid shit he intends to come up with.
Solid parenting.
I love this conversation. He is adorable. She is one smart Mommy.
My husband still laughs his head off with a conversation with our six year old son yelling down the stairs "Mom, why did God make testicles?"
