Kids say the darnedest things
December 28, 2007My daughter came home brooding after her Christmas party at school.
Cheska: Ang daya ng classmates ko. Marami silang prizes sa games. Ako wala.
Me: Bakit wala kang prize?
Cheska: Kasi lagi kaming talo sa games. Ang daya nila. Hmpp.
Me: Ganon talaga. You can't always be a winner. Magaling sila sa games, ikaw magaling sa klase.
Cheska: No mama, mas maganda ako sa kanila.
That's coping mechanism for a six year old.
Me: Cheska, do u miss me sometimes?
Cheska: Yes. Lalo na pag overnight ka sa work.
Me: Mmm, minsan kasi kelangang mag-overnight sa work para may money tayo.
Cheska: Mag-overnight ka kaya everyday para much money tayo?
Last school year while doing her assignment in Language and Spelling….
Teacher Edna ( is are) helpful.
Cheska: You know mama, Teacher Abby is not helpful.
Me: She helps you and your classmates at school right? She teaches you many things.
Cheska: No. Sabi nga nya yung di pa tapos mag-write sa diary maiwan.
