Stepparent
21 February 2010 – Tala, after I explained to her what a stepparent is:
“Ah, like you and _____.”
The answer was a very quick and resounding “NO.”
“HELL NO” was the more accurate reaction, but I have learned to control my rather acidic tongue.
Becoming Woman
27 February 2010 – While scrubbing herself in the shower…
“I have hair here o…” (pointing at her legs)
“Okay, that’s nice.”
“I’m beginning to be like you!”
“Uh huh.”
“Oh my gosh! I’M BECOMING A WOMAN!”
Onning
01 March 2010 – Again, in the shower… Tala was dilly-dallying with getting on with her bath, and I was getting impatient.
“Tala, turn on the shower already!!!”
“It’s ONNING!!!!!!!!!!”
Right. Sounds like Tita Kay.
Tatay on Kris Aquino
08 March 2010 – Tatay, speaking about Kris Aquino:
“She is the word “showbiz” defined.”
That FLOORED me.
Kids on Butterflies
14 March 2010 – Zivv and Tala were tasked with packing away stuff in the bedroom. Gonzo lay still on the bed, wrapped in a blanket. When Tita Glenda asked him to help the other two pack up…
“I have to turn into a beautiful butterfly first.”
A few minutes later…
“Zivv, turn yourself into a cocoon so you can be a beautiful butterfly too.”
“Okay, sure, why not.”
