The little things that have made my life worth living:

4. Sabeeta baji's random laughter attacks, when she rubs her nose while she's laughing.
5. Hearing about Manal''s antics, and how after putting one single toy in place she went, "Mama, I'm so tired."
6. The look on the tutor's face when I rattle away Physic-al stuff.
