I remembered a conversation with Zareef a couple of days ago, while driving him and Zara "ikut sederhana" (means driving them around the blocks before going to work). I was persuading him to go to school as he said he was reluctant to go to school that day..
Mama : Zareef kena la pergi sekolah.. nak jadi engineer kena pergi sekolah, bagi pandai
Zareef : Tapi Zareef dah pandai dah.. Zareef dah tau dah semua teacher ajar
Mama : Ye ke, tapi Zareef tak pandai baca lagi..
Zareef : Pandai la, Zareef dah pandai spell
Mama : Tapi Zareef tak pandai baca, tak pandai tambah, tolak darab, bahagi. Banyak lagi Zareef nak belajar!
Zareef : OK la mama....
It's so funny how they think and look upon the world..Their world is simple and very straightforward. How I wish the world is really like that.. hehe..

Zareef is so cute!! Well working with children is always fun! They are so genuine and just love how they think too. LOL!!
