why?

lately, i noticed that gabie is becoming more and more like his kuya miggy ... he's starting to be as naughty and talkative like miggy ...

today, from the time i came home, he has been asking me over and over again to help him earn more points in plants vs. zombies ...

when i've had enough, i told him, "you knowwhat? you're becoming makulit na!" (you're getting naughtier!)

he replied, "why? ... why? ... why? ... why? ... why? ... why? ... why? ... why? ... why? ... why? ... why?"

need i explain more?

pink girls and blue boys

last saturday, mikee and i went to orchard road to have some girly fun window shopping ... i bought her a dirt cheap pink sunglasses ... and after wearing it for some time she wanted to remove it ...

mikee: mama, can i take my sunglasses off?

me: but i thought you love it?

mikee: yeah, but everything is pink!

me: well, that's because the sunglasses are pink ...

mikee: but mama, even the boys are pink!

oh well, how do you explain to a five year old that not all pinks are girly and not all boys are blue?

lost in translation #2

miggy boy is not the only one that i like to tease as baboy (pig) ... i also tease the other 2 the same ...

last friday, before going to work, i said goodbye to gabie and teased him ...

me: bye, baby boy, ba-boy! (i always call gabie as baby boy)

then to mikee: bye, baby girl, ba-boy!

gabie: no, mama, you're wrong! it's baby girl, ba-girl!

oh, alright ...

in his time

since i came home from work, miggy has been asking me "weird" questions ...

"mama, in your time, did you have to use those lamps with kerosene?"

i absent-mindedly replied with a "yeah" ... (well, i really did when i was young and there's a power outage, we do get to use those kerosene lamps)

a while later ...

"mama, in your time, did you use those overhead projectors?"

again, absent-mindedly, "uh-huh" ... (well, most projectors are "overhead", right? even the ones in the movie theatres are "overhead")

during dinner ...

"mama, did you know, in your time, the first ever video game was created?"

now this i can't let go, so i replied, "wait a minute, are you trying to tell me something??? and who told you the first ever video game was created in my time? hey i wasn't even born yet when pong was created!!!"

(ok, i do know what the first video game is called ... but that doesn't mean i was already alive when it was created ... that's what i call discovery channel)

hmmmm now i wonder what could have triggered those questions ... could he be trying to imply something?

(and why am i explaining myself here?)

chat

mikee saw me chatting (online) with my friend ...

she asked me, "mama, you're spelling something for your friend?"

yes, that's chatting in the eyes of a 5 year old ...
