I think he’s trying to tell me something.

Written by

Both kids have been sick for the past two days, it’s 3:45 in the morning right now, and Khalid has been up since 11:30 last night. He spent most of the night crying and kicking and thrashing around, angry because he couldn’t sleep. The rest of the night was spent in jumping on me and entertaining himself once he realized he wasn’t sleepy any more. Right now, he’s running between the two arm chairs in the living room, throwing himself face-first onto each one and then quickly doing a 180 and running to the opposite chair to do the same. It’s been a weird night. Momma is very, very tired. Momma has a headache. Momma is cranky. But Momma is ok. Because Khalid had a good point. He opened the refrigerator. He picked up a lemon. He handed it to me and said “Oh, wemonade?”

SubhanAllah.

But then, you open the refrigerator and see a pitcher of waterwemon juice, so the wemonade quickly falls out of favor and then you pull Momma into the kitchen and point to a shelf and say “Wook! I found it! Popcorn!”

When life gives you wemons, make popcorn. :p
