camille/camel and some hate/love

Baseball tournament at the Embassy this weekend. As we are driving in, Stefan sees the teams on the field. “Baseball is like tennis, right?” he asks.

Our favorite part of the tournament: camel rides.

On the way home from school yesterday Stefan says, “There are three people at school I hate, Adam, Walid and Abdoul-Karim.” Peter and I start in on a short lecture of how “hate” isn’t a good word to use. “Oh!” Stefan says, winding down the window and waving manaically at someone like a friend he hasn’t seen in one hundred years, “There’s Abdoul-Karim! Hi! Hi, Abdoul-Karim!”
