You want a nosebleed? Inday, move over

Sometimes, our kids bring us lots of problems….but sometimes, they give us nosebleeds. Princess Wendy has been a source of problem for our family because of the nosebleeds she’s been giving us over the past years. Her vocabulary is such a pain! I can’t count the number of times we had to run for tissue because of the blood coming out of our noses…below are some examples.

Mama: Wendy, dumaan na ba si manong ice cream? [His homemade mango ice cream is my absolute favorite.]

PW: Hmmm…. Apparently yes.

[I mean, who uses the word apparently in normal conversations?]

******

Mama: [Talking a mouthful about something]

PW: Mama, that’s a lot of baloney!

[I had to look that up in the dictionary!]

Tita 1 and Tita 2 talking with Princess Wendy

PW: Tita, what’s a crime?

T1: Wends, yun yung pag may ginawa kang bad…

PW: Ahhh…like pag nakabasag ka ng glass?

T2: No Wends, mas bad pa. Like pag pumatay ka ng person, o kaya pag nagsteal ka ng person. 

T1 [looking at T2]: Ano na nga ba tawag dun Wends, pag nagsteal ka ng person?

[Both were thinking of kidnap. And I bet that’s what you thought of also.]

Wendy: Ahh..yun yung abduction… 

[I had to ask an officemate studying law the difference between the two…]

And to think she was only 6 years old when whe said these! 

Maybe I should ask Wendy if Inday is her real mother…
