abu & rabad

A couple of days back we were generally chatting in the evening.

“I am hungry,” said Rabad.

“And, I am sleeply,” said Abu.

Then, having thought about this information for a while, Abu presented his analysis.

“Rabad is hungry, and I am sleepy,” he said, “We both have feelings, you know.”

I blame it on TV.

Today, Abu and I were alone at home. It was getting close to his bedtime and he hadn’t yet eaten.

“I am hungry, Dax,” he announced. For reasons beyond my understanding, he has taken to calling me Dax. Or Dados.

“I am hungry, and I am very sleepy.” he continued,  “If hungry is red, and sleepy is blue, then I am purple.”

If blue is amused, and red is proud, I am purple.
