BK 2 chapter 13

Abdullahi was discharged two weeks after going through some tests. The doctor has appointed him to a speech therapist; the disorder could be short or long term.

He had been on bed rest for a month at home, I never let him out even at school. I locked him up and he had been pestering me on it while I always shrugged it off.

"Mo-mom-ma, I'm fiiiiine!. I don't liiiike staaaaying iiin beeeed" he whined.

"You need more rest baby," I told him softly, pinching his chubby cheek.

"I'm fine" He grumbled, "buuuut schooool?" His eyes lit up.

"No school" I grinned at him, "I'm gonna homeschool you" I replied while crunching plantain chips. He stretched his hand to pick but I swatted his hand away and stuck my tongue out.

"Noooooo" he exclaimed with wide eyes, "moooomma you can't teach me" he pouted, down casting his eyes.

"Why" I gawked at him then he put the chips in my mouth.

"Youuu have work" he smiled innocently.

"No work for me" I replied sweetly.
