The emoterang tadpoles

Saw this SMS exchange between my spawns as the drama anthology continues. [verbatim]

Andrea: This morning we got to hold baby turtles and freed them.
Taling: That’s nice.
Andrea: They were so cool.
Taling: Okay are you having fun?
Andrea: Yeah how about you?
Taling: I’m crying cause I miss you (
Andrea: Last night I could not sleep
Taling: Why?
Andrea: Cause I missed you.
Taling: Okay
Andrea: I am going to go to a crocodile farm
Taling: I’m scared.
Andrea: It is okay. I won’t be eaten.

And the award for best dramatic actress in a reality show goes to…

Andrea and her (insert nega adjective here) father

My brother reminded me of a conversation of a two year old Andrea with her father.

Andrea: Panget ka.
Kulot: Hindi. Gwapo daddy mo.
Andrea: Hindi.
Kulot: Sabihin mo gwapo daddy mo ha.
Andrea: Sige.
Kulot: Sino na ngayon ang panget?
Andrea: Yung gwapo.

Yan ang logic. I swear, she really had potential even then :-p

For my girlfriends.

Ang Alamat ng Regla

Interesting discussion last night before bedtime.

Andrea: Mum, why does the private part of the girl start bleeding when she’s older?
Bading Mother: It’s not bleeding per se, cos there’s no wound. It’s called a monthly period. That’s when the egg from the ovary is discharged.
Taling: EGG??!! OMG, isn’t that for birds? We have it too?
Bading Mother: It’s an egg cell, that’s what it’s called. It doesn’t look like the one you scramble for breakfast, Natalie.
Taling: I wonder how it looks like then.
Bading Mother: I guess it’s round, a triangle egg would be weird. Anyway, I don’t think it can be seen by the naked eye.
Taling: NAKED???
Andrea: Yeah, like you’ve seen eyes that are dressed up Natalie. Duh. It just means it’s your eyes without the help of something else, like a microscope or a telescope.
Taling: Fine. Naked eye is just weird.
