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!"

Very miffed, she said, “So, umalis ka pa pala ha!” I thought I’d get a sermon, but she proceeded to give me a long list of things I needed to buy. She ended it with “Umalis ka na rin naman pala eh di bilhin mo na mga yan.”  #maypaiyakiyakpaperoreadynamansalistahan #angmgananaytalaga
