Faith Like a Child

One time, Lemon and one of her playpals were talking. I couldn't help overhearing (are you kidding? I was dying to know!) what they were talking about. Lemon was apparently listening to DC Talk's music. Here's a summary:

Lemon: Ate ******, makinig ka, Christian [music] 'yan. (listen, that's Christian music!)

******: Hindi yan Christian! (That's not Christian!)

Lemon: Christian yan! Pakinggan mo, tungkol kay Jesus yung song. (That's Christian! Listen well, the song's about Jesus.)

*****: Hindi nga Christian 'yan! (No, that's not Christian!)

Lemon: (Napapahiya na) Eh ano 'yan? (Starting to get embarassed: Then what is it?)

******: Basta hindi Christian 'yan. Rock [music] 'yan eh. Hindi Christian ang Rock! (It's not Christian. Rock music cant be Christian!)

Lemon: Eh Christian Rock nga 'yan eh. (But that's Christian Rock!)

******: Hindi nga Christian 'yan. Iba ang Christian na kanta. Bawal yan sa Christians! (That's not Christian! Christians should not listen to that kind of music!)

Lemon: Ha? (Huh?)

******: May pinabasa sakin na book ang papa ko. "insert name of book here" ... (My dad made me read this book, "insert name of book here")

Lemon: Mommy, laro tayo ng trolley-trolley sa labas! (Mom, let's go outside and play with my trolley!)





No side comments from me for now. Sorry to disappoint you. =)


Okay, just one. If you teach your children values, please don't forget to teach them manners. =)
