Son: Do you know where Iam comes from?
Mum: Where does he come from?
Son: He comes from Mosque!
Mum: Do you mean he goes to worship in a mosque?
Son: Yes. And he lives in a house with a special name – what’s it called?
Mum: A flat?
Son: No, he LIVES in the mosque, that’s it!
Mum: I don’t think he lives in a mosque, people don’t live there, they just go to visit. It’s a house of God.
Son: Oh. Well I just can’t remember the special name of his house.
Mum: Do you mean that he comes from a different country?
Son: Yes, I’m TALKING about his home. Where are mosques?
Mum: Well, they’re in India, Pakistan – and they’re in this country for people who come from other countries with mosques.
Son: That’s it! He lives in Pakistan and that’s why his voice is so weird! Like when our teacher says “say a”, he says “ai”.

Me: Did you have your Harvest Festival Assembly today?
D: Yes – in the hall. All the food was put out on the tables in the hall. I could see my pot of fruit, but I couldn’t see my tin.
Me: Ah – did they put all the food together on the table?
D: Yes.
Me: And where’s the food going?
D: To those countries that don’t have any food. Which countries are they?
Me: Some parts of Africa, some parts of India…
D: Some parts of China?
Me: Possibly.
D: Some parts of Crete?
Me: I don’t think they’ll be going to Crete, I think Crete has enough food – it had food when we went there, didn’t it?
D: But there might be another part of Crete that doesn’t have food.
Me: True.
D: Where else? …Manchester?
