What do you want to be when you grow up?

I am a mother.  I have a dream for my daughters when they grow up.  I guess every mother has.  I want them to work in NASA headquarter in Washington DC.  I want them to report what happen with the stars, email me with those amazing massive, luminous sphere of plasma held together by gravity (thanks Wiki!), and tell me the work of the Intelligent Creator! See how my coffee talk with my husband went on about this matter.

Me: She nak either of them jadi first Muslim woman in NASA-lah.   Boleh tak She start doa diorang macam tu?

Firdaus: Boleh.

Me: She nak diorang tengok all the stars then diorang boleh bagitau kebesaran Allah.

Firdaus: Kebesaran Allah bukan sampai nak kena tengok stars baru tahu betapa besarnya Allah.  Benda kecik pun boleh nampak dah kebesaran Allah.

Okay, you are right.  But I still want to pray hard for this.  And guess what?  Without having any kind of milky way discussion or story telling session with my girls, yet, and a couple of days later, Iris had amazed me with this:

Iris: Mummy, boleh tak Iris nak get out dari Earth?  Iris macam dah boring lah kat Earth.  Mummy jangan-lah sedih, Iris pergi sekejap je, nanti Iris balik-lah.

I was so thrilled.

Me: Boleh sangat.  Iris nak pergi dengan apa?

Iris: Iris pergi dengan rocketship.  Bila dah boring dekat planet lain Iris balik-lah Earth balik.

Me: Boleh.  (Oh, you so can go)

And we started learn about planets.  Jupiter, Mercury, Pluto, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.  And she has a new name for her little sister-Iyra Alveenus.  Well, that's not cool Iris, it's name-calling.  But it's funny though. 

Hey, don't you think it's simply a sign?  

Pray.
