“Allah” means God. You should know that otherwise this won’t be funny

Last summer, my “Sheikh,” or religion teacher, needed someone to watch his two youngest kids (who were 4 and 2 at the time) during the day for about a week while the family babysitter was in Syria on vacation. I decided to volunteer myself since I figured playing with his kids for five hours would totally repay him for teaching me how to avoid an eternity in hell.
I’m just giving like that.
I got to my Sheikh’s place around 7 a.m., and his wife gave me a quick run down of the day, and introduced me to the kids before she set off for work. I got the kids breakfast, and while the baby ran around and played, I sat at the table with the ADORABLE 4-year-old boy, and had the following conversation.
Me: How’s your cereal?
Ry: It’s good.
Me: So, do you always use a straw to drink the milk from your bowl while you eat the cereal with a spoon?
Ry: Yes. I always do it.
Ry: Oh No! Did my parents got dead?
Me: WHAT? No! They’re at work.
Ry: It’s okay, Allah did it.
Me: What? No, no He didn’t. Your parents aren’t…
Ry: You know how to make a Pop-Tart?
Me: What?
Ry: Pop-Tarts. You know how to make them?
Me: Well, I guess their made by all the workers at the Kellogg’s factory, and…
Ry: Allah makes them.
Me: What? He does not make Pop-Tarts.
Ry: You know Billy?
Me: Who’s Billy?
Ry: The one who eats his biggers.
Me: What’s a bigger?
Ry: You know, when you pick your nose and…
Me: EW! That’s gross, and besides, they’re called boogers.
Ry: Yeah, that. Billy does that. He’s on T.V. Do you know how he got there?
Me: Where?
Ry: On the T.V.
Me: Well, if Billy is in a cartoon, then he’s probably animated, which means that people in a studio drew…
Ry: Allah put him there.
Me: How’s your cereal?
Ry: It’s good, because Allah made it yummy.
Moral of the story: If you babysit a reglious clergyman’s children, don’t try to explain things. They already have life all figured out.

“Man in the early times was almost naked, and as his intellect evolved he started wearing clothes. What I am today and what I’m wearing represents the highest level of thought and civilization that man has achieved, and is not regressive. It’s the removal of clothes again that is regressive back to ancient times” - Nobel laureate, Tawakul Karman, in response to journalists who said her hijab was not proportionate with her level of intellect and education.
