excerpts from Glasgow

While walking Hiyam to school this morning (just about 10 minutes ago) - schools start at 9 AM here :dream: 

===============

Hiyam:  is it Sunday dad?

me: no, it`s not. It`s Wednesday.  

Hiyam: r u sure! 

me: yes, super sure. u wanted it to be Sunday?

Hiyam: no, it`s not me who wanted. 

me: what do u mean?

Hiyam: there is sun today! It should be Sunday, right? 

me: well, it is not honey. I thought u said so because u wanted it to 

       be a holiday.

Hiyam: hmmm, I am sleepy, I didn`t sleep early and mum was cross   

             but I like school and don`t want it to be weekend just yet

short pause. 

Hiyam: why is it Wednesday today! There is no wind. 

me: it doesn`t work out that way 7beebty, days of the week have 

       such names for a long time and ... and.. that`s it! :) 

Hiyam: in English there is Sunday, and in Wednesday there should 

             be wind,, it rhymes with it but we have no wind, that`s why 

             I`m not wearing gloves, right dad? 

me: thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat`s right :phew: 

Hiyam: I don`t understand, rhyming is nice, we always sing in 

             primary 1  :grumpy face:
