Whatever, yaya.
Conversations with my beloved five-year-old cousin, Sabine:
Scenario 1: While in the car, on the way to Clark, Pampanga.
Me: Look, Sabine! (me pointing at Mt. Arayat)
Sabine: What?
Me: Look at the mountain... or is that a volcano?
Sabine: . . .
Me: So what do you think? Is that a mountain or a volcano?
Sabine: (matter-of-factly) A mountain.
Me: Why? How did you know?
Sabine: HELLO!?! It's big!!? (with mataray, know-it-all conviction)
Car bursts in laughter.
Sabine = 1 point. Ate Elaine = 0. (Ops. Tablado!)
***I googled Mt. Arayat just a while ago and found out it was a volcano. Ha! Wait til I confront her about this.
Scenario 2: In the car, parked in front of Mercury Drug at Kapasigan. Waiting for Kuya.
S: BJ's so tagal. Right?
Me: Yeesss...
S: Haay..
Me: Zzzz..
S: Hey, what's the english of so tagal?
Me: Hmmm....
S: Super duper tagal??
Me: Nooooooo!
Scenario 3: In my room, right after I bathed and dressed Sabine.
Me: O, you're done na. Go downstairs to Dada.
S: Okay! (S walks to the door)
Then she stops, turns her head to me, slaps her own butt while saying: Boom, baby!
Me: WTF!?!!?
Haay, I love this kid. comments
