I love Chaka, and the radio staitons where we live are a joke – so it's cool. But her requirement (okay...demand) is that the only song we listen to is the famous Chaka Khan. Chaka Kahn. Chakakhanlemmerockyoulemmerockchakakhan.... As I said, I love Chaka, but you can imagine how tthis would get a little redundant after a while. At the same time, isn't it great that they all have their own personal tastes at such a young age? I can't wait to see it evolve.

We were grabbing a quick pizza a while back and my eldest son, Hakim, was annoyed that we were takin' off and he only got a slice. And I said to him, "Hakim, I told you, you only get one." His reply, "But you didn't say one slice or one pizza, so I get to decide, and I say I get one whole pizza." We were all crackin' up so much we bought him a whole (small) pizza-- but then told him that if he wanted every slice, he'd have to use all his allowance for it! Needless to say he wasn't done, and he had one rejoinder after another. Only wish I was so clever at that age. <a href="http://khalidali.bravehost.com/the_nubian_manifesto.htm" rel="nofollow">"The Nubian Manifesto</a> Heh heh, I bet my own son could give you a run for your money in the “smartest mouth you ever heard” department.
