He wakes me up this morning simply to ask, “ Lala, what is
peer pressure?”
That’s the
Little Guy in my life!
“Peer pressure
is when your friends make you do something bad even if you know it is bad just
because all of them are doing it.”
“ Lala, what
is epal?”
“Oh, that is
when somebody tries to make bida-bida.”
“What is
bida-bida?”
“ Uhhhh…. That
is when someone always tries to look like the hero!”
“Ah! That is when Carlos (the classroom bully)
tells everybody to be angry with me. He
is making epal!”
A moment of
silence.
“You know,
Lala, Kurt is also epal because when everyone fights with me, even if we are
friends, he also fights me. That is
epal, no?”
“Well, anyway,
you can tell them that you don’t need them.
They are just envious of you. You
are best in math, best in science, best in vocabulary, and best in reading!”
“Hmmm…. Lala,
I’m not best in math. It’s best in
spelling.”
“Oh,
okay. Best in spelling then.”
“But Kurt also
has one medal. Best in declamation. What does that mean?"
“ It only
means he is good at making speeches.
Like blah blah blah (on and on with the proper intonation I go). It’s easy to do that. You can also be best in declamation if you
wanted to!”
“Yeah, that’s
right. I have four medals and they have
none!”
“Yup. So let me sleep a bit more.”
Silence for a
second.
“Huh… Lala, I
am hungry na. Can you cook breakfast
now?”
Another day of
My Ham starts. It’s like having Simsimi
with me all the time except that with Simsimi, you start things by asking the
questions.
Good morning,
World!
