(Just when I was writing this entry, Martha comes up to me and says “Wow, si Tita Abbie ko!” She immediately looked crestfallen when she said, “Ay naku, si Tuya hug si Tita Abbie ko!” I told her she hugged Tita Abbie more on the first picture.)

Case 1:
Matthew on weekends when my siblings would go to Amadeo.

“Mommy, andun ba si Tita Abbie? Sa tingin mo dun matutulog si Tita Agnes? (he referred to Agnes when he was a toddler as Tita Witch, FYI.)

Meaning: Sana pwede ako matulog dun kasi andun si Tita Abbie kahit andun si Tita Agnes

Case 2:
We had major drama on Abbie’s birthday because Matthew talked back at me. As punishment I decided we wouldnt go anymore to Manila for Abbie’s treat. It was the longest three hours of his life, crying and pleading and crying some more – to make me change my mind.

Case 3:
Whenever I’d scold Martha these days, she cries and yells for help, in the following order:
”Daddy, Daddy, I want my Daddy!”

If Im so angry Id shot back: “Wala dito Daddy mo!”

You think she would cry some more? No, the next person in line is…
”Huhuhu, Ta Bie, Ta Bie, I want my Tita Abbie!”

I rest my case.
