Oh, sorry.
Texting about work.
Which was what I was just doing... important business.

Leila: Uh, what is a payslip?

Aunty: Mariam: You just got paid for your last week at work.

Leila: Oh

Ziad: We're rich!

Uncle Rami: Right, I'm baking a cake to celebrate.
Ta da!
It's tea cake!

Ziad: There's tea in the cake?

Leila: To have with tea. I think. Oh!
Thanks for your great work this week. We would like to offer you a full time position. Let us know if you are interested ASAP.

Ziad: Good work, habibi.
What is this ASAP? Always support Arabic people?

Aunty: Mariam: If only it meant that. No, it just means as soon as possible.
But going from part time work to full time work so quickly.
Great job. But we must respond.

Ziad: As soon as possible.

Aunty: Mariam: Have a go at the message and we can check it before you send it.

Leila: Sure, thank you.

Ziad: Mm. This cake is so good. And how do you say a little bit wet.

Aunty: Mariam: Moist?

Ziad: Yes, moist.
I like this word.

Aunty: Mariam: It is a good word for describing cake.

Ziad: You know, maybe I could eat cake full time. Maybe this would be my job.

Uncle Rami: Cake should be part time, I think.

Leila: Okay, enough cake talk. This is what I have.
Thank you. I would love to go full time. Send me hours that you would like me to work.

Aunty: Mariam: Hmm. Great, good start.

Ziad: But add emojis in there. You know, love hearts, some dollar symbols and maybe put a slice of cake in there too.

Aunty: Mariam: This is a text message for work so the less emojis the better. And love is a bit strong, try...
Thank you. A full time position would be great. Please send me the hours you would like me to work.

Uncle Rami: Sounds good, send it off.

Leila: Okay.

Ziad: You must be known for your moistness.

Aunty: Mariam: Yes, for his cake. Also, he is very sweaty.

Leila: Thank you.

Naomi: With Mariam's help Leila sent a text message, that was polite and positive and asked for a bit more information.
Mm. So moist!
