genius child

the last few days, i have been getting phone calls from my 3-year-old niece, sakina. she knows to pick up her mother's phone and dial 36 and press talk, and it will get her zahra faijee on the line.

of course, i am infinitely tickled every single time she calls me on her own. she'll chat with me, and then either one of her parents will walk into the room and she'll squeal, "look! zahra faijee!" and they'll get on the phone and apologize for bothering me, and not completely believe me that no matter what i'm in the middle of, sakina is the most welcome of interruptions. *grin*

life is good.
