oh, how they grow up...

everyone who knows me knows i'm enamored of my nephews.

they are, quite possibly, the cutest children in the world. what can i say, persian and japanese is a good mix. really, though, they're fabulous kids. and they used to be quite enamored of me too. vahid is only 6, and he still thinks i'm pretty great. husayn, however, will turn 10 in about a week. i think he's getting too cool for his khaleh naseem.

tonight, i called to talk to them. my sister answered the phone, and then she asked the boys "who wants to talk to khaleh naseem?" in the background, i heard the television, and then i heard husayn say "not me."

*sigh.*

of course, he did talk to me, and we had a nice chat about school, violin, and his upcoming birthday party. but i don't think he was too excited about talking to me.

it just makes me sad... :-(

You have to spend more time talking about things like robots, jedis, and legos. Works everytime. Works on me even :)
