Called out by both twins over breakfast

Rushing this morning. Baby Mo and Baby Ais were already in their high chairs — two bowls of porridge, two tiny spoons with the same rabbit pattern. Abi slid into a chair while checking the phone, took a bite right away.

Baby Mo looked at Abi. Baby Ais looked at Abi.

Then — in unison, like they'd secretly practiced — both shouted:

"BIMIMILA!"

Pause. Spoon still in my mouth. Abi pulled it back, swallowed, then — embarrassed and laughing at myself: "Astaghfirullah. Bismillah."

Baby Mo returned to his bowl. Baby Ais kept staring at Abi for another second, as if confirming, then she went back to eating too.

Abi taught them Bismillah before eating — slowly, over the last few months, at every meal. At first only I'd say it, they'd just hear it while chewing. Lately the word started showing up: "BimimiLA" — sometimes from Baby Mo, sometimes from Baby Ais, sometimes both together like this morning.

There's a hadith often quoted in WhatsApp groups:

"When one of you eats, let him mention the name of Allah. If he forgets at the start, let him say: Bismillaahi fii awwalihi wa aakhirihi." — Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi

A back door, if we forget. But the other lesson this morning: having twins means having two auditors at once. If one forgets to correct you, the other remembers. Hard to hide.

What's more important: they didn't judge. No anger. Just pointing out the fact — yes, while glaring, but without anger. Children absorb what they hear often, and reflect it back to us at times we don't expect.
