A Sunday a few weeks ago, Juma woke up at 6:30am, far too early for us. Justin got up and told him that he, Juma, could get up, get dressed, do anything he wanted, read a book, turn on the light, whatever, just leave us alone until he sees 7:00 on the clock.
At seven, I got up and limped into Juma's room. I found him in his pajamas, listening to an audio book of Toy Story, and happily sucking away at a Tootsie Pop. When he saw me, he popped the sucker out of his mouth, and exclaimed, "Dad said I could do anything I wanted!"
"Oh?"
And with a excitement only children and my brother Rus can muster, he answered, "I'm listening to this book! Twice!"
