The Crazies IV

Here are the latest of my kids’ antics, foibles, repartees, smarts, engots…whatever you want to call it.

One afternoon in the mall, the Hezzies were so hyper while I was shopping.

Mama : Will you please behave?!?

Hezzies : (Ignored me and continued to run around)

Mama : One last time, will you please sit and just relax a bit..I’m beginning to get mad na!

Gaby : Adi come here, let’s sit na lang. Follow what I’m doing. (sits in lotus and does a perfect meditation pose)

Gaby : AWOOOM…AWOOOM…

Adi : (does the same) AWOOOM….AWOOOM…

Mama : What are you doing?!?

Gaby : Yoga! Di ba you told us to relax muna…

While browsing around Toy Kingdom, Adi found a foam sword. Taking on a perfect “Jack Sparrow” stance…

Adi : ARRR..ARRR…MAYTEEESS…I AM A PIRATE!!

Salesgirl : Excuse me kuya..padaan po..

Adi : ARR…ARR..I’m not a boy!! Look…I don’t have a “bleep-bleep”!!

After dinner, Adi sits on the stairs and enjoys her after-dinner drink..

Yaya : Ay ang bait naman ng bata..umiinom mag-isa.

Adi : Hey…don’t call me bata..I am not a bata!!

Yaya : Eh, what will I call you na?

Adi : I am “Madame”!

While I was checking out some blouses in a tiangge stall in Greenhills, Gaby decided to follow me inside….

Salesgirl : Ay, ang cute mo naman! What’s your name?

Gaby : Gabrielle Beatriz de Guzman-Lugue.

Salesgirl : Wow!! Pa-hug nga, I miss my pamangkin na kasi eh..

Gaby : WOW!! You have a monkey in your house?!? Coolmungous!!

Salesgirl : Ito naman, pamangkin..hindi monkey.

Just before bedtime, we were all having a little bonding time….

Mama : Gaby, who do you look like?

Gaby : I look like Mama!! I’m your junior eh.

Papa : Adi is my junior. She looks like me.

Adi : No, I don’t want to look like you. I look like Mama!

Papa : No, you look like me eh..di ba Mama?

Adi : WAAAHHHH!! I don’t want to look like you!! You’re kalbo!!

After eating merienda, Gaby gets the bottle of Coke Zero and recognizes most of the letters written on it.

Gaby : Mama, can you teach me how to read this? (pointing at the word “zero”)

Mama : Ok. I’ll point to the letter and you make the sound.

Gaby : zzzz….eeee…..rrrr…..ooooo..

Mama : Good! Now all you have to do is put it together.

Mama : So, what does it say?

Gaby : COKE!!
