My Name is Sharifa
- New York
Audio recording of Umi teaching her youngest daughter how to say her name.
Notes: I've included this audio clip because it's oozing with love and was too sweet not to include. I have absolutely no recollection of making it. I wonder why my mother thought to record or was it my idea since I ended the recording? Either way, documentation seems to run in the family.
Umi: ...Sharifa.
Su'ad: Sharifa, what's your name?
Umi: Say, “my name is Sharifa.” Say, “Sharifa.”
Umi: Say, “I love you, mommy.”
Sharifa: [babble]
Umi: Say, “I love you, mommy.”
Sharifa: [babble]
Umi: Say, “I love you, mommy.”
Sharifa: I love you, mommy.
Umi: I love you, mommy.
Sharifa: I love you, mommy.
Umi: Say, “I love Su'ad.”
Sharifa: I love Su'ad.
Umi: Say, “Hi, Grandma.”
Sharifa: Hi, Grandma.
Su'ad: Say, “my name is Sharifa.”
Umi: Say, “Sharifa.”
Sharifa: Sharifa.
Umi: Say, “my name Sharifa.”
