Avicennas first day to school

My mini-me

Hari ini ada sedikit nyess di dada. Kakaknya sakit, jadi anak ini ke sekolah sendiri. Di bis sendiri. No complain. No doubt. Neneknya bilang, dia keinget mamanya iris waktu kecil. Minta sekolah di umur 2,5 tahun and no turning back since then. No mogok2. I forgot just how courageous i was as a kid. I should learn from the kid version of me. I should learn from my mini me.

Let's!

Today i walked with my son around the town and a boy with his father approached us. He came gently with a brochure and asked, "Do you believe in angels, madame?". I replied, "yes, i do."
He then showed me a biblical verset that more or less meant God empowered the angels. I so asked him do you believe in The power? Who is The power? He replied God.
That's great kid, believe in Him. You will be safe.
The father persuaded me to read additional biblical comic for my son. I told him that as muslim he will read and learn the Quran first. But later when he is bigger, he is free to read whatever book he likes.
We ended the short conversation by shaking hands and said to each other that mutual respect to people from any background and religion will bring peace to the world. At least let's give it a try.
