Apat vs Four



Petite Pedia Plots 118

 During my visit to the orphanage, two girls were brought to the clinic. 
I asked Girl #1 how old she was. 
Bibo Girl #2 answered for Girl #1 and said "Four". 
Little Girl #1 started crying and said, "Hindi ako four. Mali ka! Apat na taon na ko no!"

It took me about an hour and going on the internet and showing them pictures to find out who she was.  It was Cherry Pie Pecache. After that, Mom again said,"I don't like this certain TV host/actress". And she proudly tells me that the host's name is "Austin!" Mom, I don't know anyone called "Austin" on local TV!!! And so, we go through the whole guessing game again.
