The (Mis)Adventures of Dr. D

Petite Pedia Plots 120 Mom told me she has succeeded in hiding all girly stuff and he doesn't look for his Princess/Barbie dolls anymore.    Me: Who/what is your favorite cartoon character? P.E.: Thomas the Train! (Uy!)  Me: You don't like Elsa anymore?  P.E.: No!  Me: How about Barbie?  P.E.: Nope! (Wow!)  Me: Are you a boy or a girl? P.E.: Boy! (Yahoo!)  Me: What's your favorite color?  P.E.: Purple! (Ok, pwede naman sa boy ang purple or pink. Let's not stereotype.)  As he left the room after the check up, he flipped his hair and squeeled, "Bye Tita Doc!" And placed his bag on his bent elbow and carried it like a "tita". from www.viralultimate.com

Daughter Duties 45 We were talking about extrajudicial killings during lunch.  Dad: Dati na yan. Kapanahunan ko pa. Noon nga, may isang "notorious na magnanakaw ng mga kalabaw" sa amin eh. Pinatay. Sinabi lang ng pulis na nakatakas at nanlaban kaya namatay.  My mind stopped when I heard "notorious na magnanakaw ng mga kalabaw". Madami pa ang kalabaw noon at ninanakaw pa!  from www.rte-international.com

Daughter Duties 44 Proud na proud si Mom na sinabi sakin: "Anak! Mas matangkad ka na sakin!"  Me: "Mom, lahat ng tao mas matangkad na sayo kasi nag shri-shrink ka na."  from www.giphy.com

Daughter Duties 43 Back when I was in Grade School, I told my Mom that I needed Plaster of Paris for the next day (right before falling asleep). I didn't know how difficult it was to get it. She got pretty mad at me and I ended up crying. I was pretty much sure I'd get a failing grade for not bringing my assignment. When I woke up the next day, my Mom had the plaster of paris in her hand.    That pretty much sums  up how my Mom is. (And I think it's pretty applicable to all the mothers out there.) She always comes through and she never lets us down. She always believes that we could be better versions of ourselves. I hope that when the time comes for a reversal of roles, she can count on me and Ate to do the same for her and Dad.  I love you, Mom. I have always said that I'm a Daddy's girl, but what I don't often say is that I'm also a Mommy's girl.  Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, mothers-to-be, anticipating mothers and
