can I, please?

Conversations with Juma:

Juma: I want a tennis ball.
Sarah: Well, I can't find a tennis ball. Here's a hockey ball. You can use that.
Juma: Oh, can I pretend it's a tennis ball? Pleeeeease?
Sarah: Yeah, you can.
Juma: [sincerely] Oh, thank you. Thank you to telling me I can pretend a tennis ball!

[later] Juma: My bum hurts. I need to rest my bum. Okay?
