innocent remarks
| i've been having my share of embarrassing moments with the remarks my 3-year old utters. here's a sampler: * he calls what he qualifies as an elderly as Grandpa or Lola. sometimes, he just says "hi lola!" to the person who has grey hair that he sees along the way, i don't know really what's his criteria are but he has his own standards - so better watch out! :p * after a general assembly, everyone doing their share of cleaning up the place. our chapter head was busy with packing up his guitar and little franco came up to him and said: "Hi Grandpa, what are you doing?". well, his 3rd child is my age, so maybe it is appropriate, but still embarrassing! * while mommy was having tea at tita H's home (franco busy messing up the place by playing with kuya C's toys and leaving it all over the place). H's hubby came home for the day. FL, probably surprised someone new to him suddenly appeared (since he was very involved with the toys), came up to H's hubby and asked: "Who are you?" * it was meal time in one of our gatherings with friends, some adults went to the kid's area to have their meal. little FL got off his seat to pick something up, someone saw the empty seat so she sat to have her meal. a few minutes later, the little boy came back, there was cartoons on the tv so he searched for his seat, realized it was occupied, he went to it, was nudging the lady saying "ayskusmi, ayskusmi, ayskusmi" (translated: excuse me, excuse me, excuse me). so the lady, in the middle of a bite, had no choice but to get off her seat. haay! situations like these, you only can give a sigh of embarrassment and resignation... but we do teach him manners. he's just in his 3-yr old phase. |
