vocabulary and a little bribe

I had to take a 40 minute drive yesterday to a diving shop to pick out snorkel, mask, and fins. And I had to bring Juma with me, but he was determined not to go.

Sarah: Come on Juma, we're going now.
Juma: [passionately] I certainly am not going!
Sarah: (Well, that's going on the blog.) I have a quarter for the gumball machine there.
Juma: [pleasantly]: Okay, let's go!

Today, Justin wanted Juma to come to an art museum with him. Juma didn't want to, and preferred the dinosaur museum.

Juma: [whining] Mom! Baba wants me to go to his museum.
Sarah: Which museum is Baba's museum?
Juma: The one that I cry at.

I think they settled on a women's ice hockey game.
