pure energy

brother says he saw a colleague running when he biked to a neighboring town last holy week... me: 'why was he running?' brother: 'he runs regularly... he does 30K...' mom: 'how's that? he goes back and forth?' brother: 'when i saw him he ran 30K one-way and then he took a ride going home...' me: 'why didn't he just run 15K-15K to and fro so he wouldn't have to take a ride going back?' just a suggestion... : )

young at heart

'dyesebel' (tv series about a mermaid) on tv... dad to mom: 'it is kids who watch that, right? fairy tale...' mom nods then adds: 'me, too...' ; )

certainly not

sent a generous gift to someone noontime...  i told the recipient it's not from me but from someone who doesn't want to be named...

recipient:  'doesn't want to be named???'

me:  'yes...  a friend of mine...'

recipient, in a very confident tone:  'ah...  i already have someone in mind!'

huh?!  you think you know but you don't...  you'll never guess in a million years...  \m/

dear is relative

dad tells us there's no need to cook as he has already bought food:  dish this, this, this...  dessert that, that, that...

me to my aunt:  'i'm waiting for the punchline, auntie...'

aunt:  'what punchline?'

me:  'the price...'

true enough, at the end of the enumeration, he mentioned the price...

we burst out laughing...

mom:  'why do you have to include the price?'

dad:  'so you'll know it's expensive...'

aunt chuckles:  'it's not...  actually, it's cheap...'

male and female

in the province this morning, our tricycle driver's name was 'josephine.'  he's a male (and of course, 'she' is a female, hehe...).

according to him, during the elections, he was being questioned because he was male.

and then when he was getting married, he was being questioned because his name was female.

gender stereotypes...  : }
