The electricity goes out. I immediately call the electric company to
report. As usual, I get a reply that
they will send their repair men to our area.
In front of Little Guy, I say, “Oh
no! We might be suffering the same fate
as those in Mindanao now! This is a bad
omen.”
His curiosity piqued, Little Guy asks:
“Are we in Mindanao, Lala?”
“No, we are in Luzon. Cainta is in the province of Rizal and Rizal
is in Luzon.”
Not to be outdone, Little Guy adds, “And
Luzon is in the Philippines and the Philippines is in the world and the world
is in the solar system and the solar system is in the galaxy and the galaxy is
in the sky. Oh, joke! The galaxy is in God.”
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. . . . . . is what I have
in mind.

Little Guy complains, “Lala, I am sweating
like a pig!”
“Do pigs sweat?”
“Yup.
They sweat when they get into the mud.
They have to ba-bath first before going into the mud. If they do not take a bath before going into
the mud, they will sweat.”
“Ah so!
It’s like humans. You have to
shower first before getting into the swimming pool.” I say.
“Lala, you have to shower with SUNBLOCK!”
He gives me a few minutes of silence to
digest this information.
Finally, he says: “Lala, when you die, I
am going to miss your cooking!”
Now where did this come from?
