Many Numbers

Petite Pedia Plots #160

A 3 year old male patient has a penchant for measuring.  So, he gets my tape measure and measures his waist.  He says, “10!”.  He then goes to his slim Mom and measures her as well and says, “So many numbers. Mommy”.  And then measures me for his finale and exclaims, “Tita Doc, so many many MANY numbers!”

Petite Pedia Plots 108 While at a stop sign, I looked down and opened a pack of biscuits. The policeman saw me and probably thought I was texting. So, when I looked up, I saw him approach my car and tell me, "Mam, bawal mag text!" On my right hand was a piece of cracker and majority of it was already in my mouth.

Too much info, Dad! From www.openspacesfengshui.com

Guessing Game

Daughter Duties 26 Photo from www.leadingtolearning.com During dinner last night, Mom was telling me about this TV soap actress that Mom and Dad both like. Both of my parents have been racking their brains for about a wk (?!)   and they haven't come up with her name yet. So, I try to help them out.  Me: Is she young or old?  D and M: Middle-age! Me: Is she someone I have watched? D and M:  "Yes yes!"  Me: Award-winning?  D and M:"Yes! Yes! She always plays the Mom in soap oper as!" Me: Hmmm, Jaclyn Jose?  D and M: "Nooooo!" 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.
