It was a humid Saturday night and the F family members were inside the bedroom preparing for dreamland when the cutie, out of the blue, just rattled.
O: Daddy I think I will not get married when I grow up.
D: Oh, why is that?
O: I will be too embarrassed to get a wife, that’s why.
D. And why should you be embarrassed?
O: It’s because I have to do “lips to lips” with her in front of people! And that’s really embarrassing!!!!
On another occasion, the little one blurted,
O: Mommy, I have an idea. I can actually get married, but on one condition.
M: What is it?
O: During the ceremony, instead of the preacher saying , “You may now kiss the bride,” He should say something else.
M: What is he supposed to say then?
O: “You may now hug the bride!”
I brought the kids inside the grocery store to buy some foodstuff. We were passing through an alley when Orvik stopped dead in his tracks and pointed to a big poster (an ad) with a photo of a pregnant woman holding a piece of bread and smiling at her daughter who was also holding a piece of bread and carressing her mom's tummy.
Orvik: (calling his brother's attention) Kuya, look at the woman. She's so fat. Her tummy is so big. Nasobrahan yata bread! (Too much bread, I suppose!)
Rovik: (LOL!) Ha,ha,ha.
Me: (containing my amusement) Oo nga noh? (Yes.) Maybe that's what happens when you eat too much bread.
(Boy, was I not in ready to explain the whys and wherefores of pregnancy inside a grocery store. That incident kept me and my older son chuckling for days.)
