i'm full

my mom comes home...  usually she brings all sorts of food:  pizza, pastries, sandwich, etc...

i see her unpacking beside the dining table...

i excitedly ask:  'what do you have, mom?'

right at that moment she was pulling out a bottle...

me:  'soy sauce?!'

mom:  'i passed by the grocery...'

; p

no bills

at the supermarket, i got my aunt ice cream bars i've been asking her to try...

aunt:  'put those here, i'll pay...'

me:  'oh, don't...  i'm giving these to you so i should be the one to pay...'

aunt:  'you don't have money, right?'

me:  'wahaha...  sounds pathetic...  i do bring my cards, auntie...'

but yup, i don't bring cash...  : }

you don't look, you don't see

talking horses...

mom:  'what do you call this creature that's half-man, half-horse?'

me:  'isn't that pan?'

brother:  'isn't it centurion?'

me:  'centurion is head of 100 men...'

aunt:  'sphinx?'

me:  'that's half-lion...'

cousin googles...

it's centaur...

we look at the pics...  horse with four legs with the head and torso of a man...

me:  'oh...  four legs...  pan only had two...  standing up...  can you check pan?'

ta-daaan...  pan is half-man, half-goat!

me:  'that's a goat?!  all this time i thought it was a horse...'

uhm...  i never really looked...  always just a glance or from the side of my eye...  too scary for me to examine...  : }

the child knows

my two-year-old granddaughter fell into the pool... (aw!) to ease her fright, my nieces burst into a shower of praise: 'what a good swimmer!' 'wow! she swims so well!' blah-blah-blah... suddenly the little girl went: 'i slipped...' ; )

not disconnected

at my cousin's place last night... me: 'did the lights go out here?' cousin: 'no...' me: 'really? brownout at the house...' cousin: 'just your house?' me: 'huh?! in our street!' we do pay our electric bill, y'know... ; )
