Counting Shortcuts


Petite Pedia Plots 142

A mother comes in with her 2-year old for a check-up. Mom claims that her daughter can count til a hundred at her age.  So, I asked the child to count for me. It was going well until, “thirteen, fourteen, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred!”

Daughter Duties #61 My sister and I were at the grocery yesterday to do our food run.  We called up Mom to ask if she still had last minute requests. Mom: “Pakibili din kami ng biscuits.” Ate: “Anong klase, Mom?” Mom: “Yung square-square. Nagustuhan namin” Ate: “Anong name/brand?” Mom: “Basta yung hugis square!!!!” 🤦🏻‍♀️ #ayannanamansiya #pinoyhenyoatthegrocery

Theatrics

 Daughter’s Duties #63: Due to the rising number of cases of covid, my Mom has been very worried about me seeing patients.  Yesterday, she was already using tears as a bargaining chip to make me stay at home.  Because I had already made previous commitments, I couldn’t give in to her request that afternoon.  I knew she would get mad at me once she knew I had left the house.  After I had finished with my appointments, I called to ask her if she needed me to pass by the grocery. 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
