Oh, the challenge…
November 5, 2007 | Category: Memories, Uncategorized
Hani, my 5 year old nephew, came up to me and asked if I could read him “this story.”
I said “Of course 7ayati” (equivalent to honey)…not realizing that it’s in Arabic…
I started reading out loud to him - at times stuttering…
As I was about to flip to the next page, he pulled the book away from my hand, looked me straight in the eye and asked:
“Khalto, do you even know how to read this?!”
“Yes… here, let’s finish…” I said as I looked at his mom…who was too busy stuffing her face with cheesecake, not realizing the challenge her son was putting me through…
“Are you sure? I don’t think you can, khalto…” he said with a smirk.
Ranya, next time take it easy on your kids…and don’t check out college level novels! Thanks to you, now Hani thinks I’m illiterate!
