Last night, during our late-night talks in bed.

Brat: (randomly) “Mommy, alam mo ayaw ako isama ni G sa play kasi wala daw akong bracelet at necklace kanina.”
Me: (Thinking so that was the reason he wanted to buy a necklace. And I thought my son was turning gay. Livestrong IDs siguro yun.) “So ano ginawa mo?”
Brat: “Sabi nya kay Wyatt, Wag mo isama yan si Matthew bungal yan.”
Me: me and Edil looks at each other. Tiger Mommy in action. “Ano ginawa mo?”
Bratt: “Wala. Play kami ni Mitch. Bungal din yun.”
Me: “Ano na-feel mo?”
Bratt: thinks it was a hard question “Wala. Bakit ako bungal Mommy?”
Me: heart breaking, “Kasi ayaw mo mag toothbrush eh, tapos gusto mo pa lagi chocolates and chicheria, yan.”

After 5 minutes, hindi ko matiis:
“Mato, pag ayaw ka uli isama sa play ni G, tapos sinabi bungal ka, sabihin mo BUNGAL AKO PERO GWAPO, IKAW PANGIT AT BABOY!”

Matthew giggles.
Edil: Tinuruan mo pa mang-away yung bata.

Me: Im just giving him balls no.

I've never been bullied in the my whole student life. I admit, I was the bully. Sampal there, Sabunot here, Padyak dun.And as far as I can remember, the moments I was made to feel left out hurt. And since a mother's gotta do, what a mother's gotto do, I teach my son how to fight back.

Maling paraan pero sorry, nainis din ako eh.

Next month would be Dentist Month for Matthew, promise And pwede ba, ang bungal wala talagang ipin, BUNGI lang anak ko.
