Sitting in a fancy Chinese restaurant in a booth surrounded by enormous fish tanks, we're all mesmerized by the colorful fish swimming around us.
Ree looks behind me and lets out a loud laugh and says, 'Look Naeem, those two fish behind your head. They're...they're...uhmmm...copulating.'
Copulating? I look at her with a that's-the-best-you-could-come-up-with? look.
So both kids turn and ask 'What? Where? What's going on?'
I'm stumped to explain and so I look at Ree since she's the one who mentioned it. Her evil smile turns to a look of confusion.
Then Humza blurts out 'Yeah I see them Mimi. Look there. I see the fish.'
Startled at Humza's 'discovery', I ask him, 'What exactly do you see Humza?'
'I see the two fish over there, copying each other. They're copying, just like Mama said. Right Mama? '
With a deep sigh of relief, she looks at me and replies, 'Right Humza. That's exactly right, they're copying each other.'
Saved by sweet childish innocence!
