boomerang

sister in the bathroom...  i heard her sneeze...

me:  'bless you!  say 'excuse me'...  even when you're alone...  make it a habit so it will come automatically...'

sister:  'excuse me...'

me:  'good...  do that even when no one's around so it will be second nature...  you won't have to change behaviors in the presence of others...  develop good habits...'

soon after, i myself sneezed...  :"O

sister exclaimed:  'say 'excuse me'!'

me:  'haha...  excuse me...'

sister:  'develop good habits...'

; )

captive audience

last night, i overheard my sister's TV...  it was the pinoy big brother 737 finals...

me:  'what does the 737 mean?'

sister:  'i don't know...  i don't really watch this...'

oh...  ok...

then i went downstairs...  my mom was also in front of the tv and it also was showing the pbb finals...

me:  'what does 737 in the title mean?'

mom:  'i don't know...  i don't watch this...'

me:  'how come yours and <sister>'s TVs are both on that channel if you don't watch it?  because it's the finals?'

mom:  'i'm waiting for 'your face sounds familiar'...  it's normally shown before this but now they switched timeslots because it's the finals...'

choosing outfits

shopping...

my nephew quickly checked out sweatpants...  picked one...  tried it on...  then decided it's what he'd buy...

then he quickly checked out jackets...  he picked one...  tried it on...  then again decided it's what he'd buy...

me to sister-in-law:  'are guys really like that?  he was able to choose right away...  when i was here last, i tried on so many tops before i was able to decide on one...'

sister-in-law chuckled:  'maybe...'

and then we looked for my niece...  guess what, she was still in the fitting room trying on different clothes...

; )

same feather

two normally negative persons talking...  said one to the other:  'don't think such thoughts!  should be positive...'

oh, wow!  surprising / astounding but good to hear.. : D

so math applies, huh!  negative times negative equals positive...  go flock together, peeps...  : )

loophole

nephew says he'll gas up my car...

me: 'huh?! doesn't it have gas???'

nephew: 'you said if i'm going to use it i'll have to gas it up...'

me: 'what i said was you can use it to school but you'll have to take care of your own gas... i'm not going to shoulder your gas if it's everyday...'

nephew: 'ah, so if it's not daily i don't have to gas up?'

me: 'yes... just use it; you don't need to gas up... i'll take care of it...'

nephew: 'a, thank you, tita...'

later it occurred to me that he might use it to school just every other day...

toinks! ; )
