It's just one of those schoolnights when the little kid is so lazy to walk the extra mile. Basta tapos na homework, okay na. As an adult (who am I kidding?), I had to play my part:
Mum: Lemon, mag aral ka naman mabuti...blah...Mas okay yung matalino ka, yung may honors ka. When you grow up mas madali kang yayaman kung tapos ka ng school and pag matalino ka (I didn't want to mention about working or she'll get disillusioned. She knows I'm having a hard time working and making ends meet even if I do have work).
Lemon: Eh di ba Mommy, matalino ka? Eh bakit di ka pa rin mayaman?
Mum: (Dumbfounded) Uhm... Kasi malas ako eh.
Hay kids these days. Di mo talaga mabola.
ano ba! what sort of kid are you raising?!
ReplyDeletemashadong ... matalino!

smart a$$ talaga yan. i don't know if matalino sya or pilosopo. could be both. hehe... sikreto? we talk a lot. i deal with her like she's already an adult. =)
ReplyDeletewehehe...di mo pa naman na-try yung classic line na " Edukasyon lang ang kaya kong ipamana, anak...kaya pagbutihan mo pag-aaral kasi si Inay kumakayod nang mabuti para mapag-aral ka sa magandang paaralan" ano kaya isasagot ng anak mo? hehe
