Juma watched an episode of Blue's Clues yesterday. A cat lives next door to Blue, and loves to perform magic tricks. Last night Juma was reciting the magic words from the episode, "Hocus Pocus Crocus!"
"Oh, yeah," I said, "the cat did some magic tricks. What is that cat's name again?" None of us could remember. It was one of those times where you know it's going to bug you until you can remember. But it didn't; I forgot all about it.
Apparently it did bug Juma all night, because when Juma woke up this morning, the first thing he said to Justin was, "On Blue's Clues, the cat's name is Periwinkle!" Now how in the world did he remember a word like Periwinkle!?!
Right now, Justin's refreshing Juma's Swahili skills. It's great to hear that little tiny voice say, "Samaki; mbwa; mpira; ndiyo; chupi!" (fish; dog; ball; yes; underwear!)
