Kids say the darnedest things

December 28, 2007

My 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.
