Shifaa and Jiddu

I love how this little kid constantly remembers my baba at random moments.  Like the other day when she said, "Giddu wahashni aweeee!"  Or the day she said, "Sumayya, right Giddu 3agooz wa tita shabaab?" hahaha, this is how he used to always joke, and the little kiddo understands his sense of humor....


A few days ago, Sumayya asked me to make her some tea (herbal tea).  Shifaa chimed up, "I want 2irfa bil-laban (I want cinnamon and milk)."  I questioned her (everytime she says something about baba, i question her to see what she's thinking.  I want to hear more,) "Why? How do you know 2irfa bil-laban?"

Shifaa: "Giddu used to drink 2irfa bil-laban.  Remember?  One time he told me, 'Shifaa, come and taste this (ta3ali du'ee).'" 

I laughed.

She asked for it with cold milk b/c the little kiddo doesn't like warm milk, very particular with her taste.  I gave her some.  She said she couldn't taste the cinnamon.  I told her it had to be warmed up.  She allowed me to warm it.  Then tasted it and said, 'I don't like warm milk,' and left it.  Sumayya ended up finishing it. 

That was all fine with me.  I'm happy she refreshed a memory with me.
