Irma drew two posts from our blog. I think she got naman the essence. Charot.

We were talking about a mother from school.

Me: Yeah, she’s a helicopter parent.
Taling: What’s that?
Me: A parent that hovers over their child.
Taling: Oh God I thought it was an actual job. Like bus mothers.

An alarm goes off on one note.

Me: What note was that? I think it’s E flat.
Taling: It’s an A
Me: You sure?
Taling: Let’s check on the keyboard.

Bale tama sya. Punyeta.

Me: What are you doing?
Taling: I was just talking to my classmate, Shagorika.
Me: That’s a name?
Taling: Yes mother.
Me: The one I know is Kurapika.
Taling: Well that sounds more absurd.
Me: No kaya. He’s from the Kurta clan.

Walang patutunguhan this conversation.

Taling: Mummy, I hate Cesar (IT guy in school who makes them kulit all the time)
Me: What did he say?
Taling: He said that the past tense of ‘close’ is open. Because before close, it was open. I hate it because I get it and I can’t tell him it’s genius!

Taling: Mummy gave me her credit card for the weekend. Let’s go buy a car.
Irma: I doubt her credit card can buy a car, Natalie. BUT we can buy a TV.

Napaka supportive talaga nila to each other.

Taling handed me these paper clip earrings for my birthday with a straight face. She proudly told me that she made them herself.

I love na may colour pa yung tip ng titeh. I mean… the craftsmanship is superb!

I’m wearing it for tonight’s dinner at the Shang.

Yesterday, we dropped by Ministop to get Vicks inhaler (kase I lost one again) when I heard Taling laughing so hard in front of the shelves.

Me: What?
Taling: WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT THEIR PENIS TO GLOW, MOTHER????
Me: Maybe it’s too small. They need help in the dark.

While sitting at the airport’s waiting area, Taling started laughing out loud.
Me: What?
Taling: Didn’t you hear the little boy and girl on the seat to your left?
Me: No.
Taling: They were arguing over who sits beside you cos they said they’re scared!
Me: I didn’t even talk!

Irma: You’re not going to like this.

Me: What?

Irma: You love Jethro right?

Me: Oh God what did he do?

Irma: He opened the cabinet where we put his food. He ate half of his stash. But I’m looking up dog food recipes online so we don’t need to buy right now. Don’t eat him pls!
