Daughter Duties 30 Oftentimes, my Dad has a hard time hearing us when we call him. However, when we say, "Dad, let's eat out!", he not only hears us right away but is dressed within 5 minutes.
Petite Pedia Plots 100 "Dra, our baby stops crying only when it's Mommy who carries her", frustrated first-time Dad told me. I answered, "Each baby is different. However, you have to remember that Moms are softer and well, they have breasts (and milk)." Dad looks at his chest and at his wife's and then says, " But there's not much difference. She's as flat as I am." From Mom's looks, World War III just started at home.
Petite Pedia Plots 4 I was checking up 2 little boys who were very malikot. I then asked the Dad, "Daddy, gusto mo pa ba nang babae?" thinking that maybe he'd like to have a daughter who would behave better. The mom, thinking of something else, suddenly blurted out, "Hay naku, dra. Oo, gustong gusto niya. Nahuli ko pa nga yan ng kulasisi nyan na nag-da-date eh, blah-blah-blah." Ibang babae pala naisip ni mommy. Uh-oh.
Petite Pedia Plots #159 As part of asthma prevention, we often ask about known triggers of the attacks. I asked the parents of an asthma suspect patient, “May curtains and carpet po ba sa bahay?” Reply: “Wala po.” Me: “Mga stuffed toys po?” Reply: “Wala din po.” Me: “Mga alagang hayop po?” Reply: “Wala po pero yung kapitbahay po namin...” Me: “May alagang hayop po yung kapitbahay?” Reply (said with so much emotion): “Hindi, doc. Hayop lang talaga yung kapitbahay namin umasta!”
