So what are you hankering after? For a child, I mean. A son or a daughter? At my age, I want as many healthy children as possible. Which is the primary reason if I seek 3 wives, if that is the Will of Allah. I want to name my first son Muhammad and my first daughter Mary. You can go ahead and name the rest of the kids. Marrying my Erin has proved to be a momentous task as it is, so I'll take what Allah gives me. Assuming I survive, of course.
Yeah, yeah. But this is an important point, because now at 50 I still have a little bit of strength left to look after you and help protect you. You can tell your family that I will raise our children as Muslims, so as to not abandon their parents when they get old. So as to not abandon their mother after their father passes away. If you value this, then you must value my teaching you and our children Islamic values. Not the values you see from people who call themselves Muslim then drink, gamble, consume interest, blow up innocent people, etc. It is the end of the world, after all. Please be close to me, allow me to look after you, and aid me in this. I love you and I need you.
OK, what's for dinner? Lunch was noodles in soup as usual (I'm so Asian), but today I ate at Omar's. I was thinking about skipping dinner, because my uncle and aunt came visiting and there was all this stuff to eat at my parents' house. We got around to talking about witchcraft, certainly the Malay race is a superstitious bunch. I know that people always try to hex me, but I am concerned about you. You might pick a toy or knick knack somewhere, thinking that it's cute, when it's a hex specially prepared for you. Yes, people do that, and they do that more often than you can imagine. So remember this: most magic is designed to sow discord between husband and wife, and remember this: no one can harm you except as Allah wills.
After the night prayer, I got around to cooking. I made a calzone stuffed with chili and cheese. Looks good, huh? Alhamdullilah. Want some?
