name confusion

When we went home last yr we had to meet one of hubby’s ofcmate. And this was how it went when i introduced her to him:

me: Iya this is Tito Alex

she turns to me with a bewildered look

Sofia: but he’s not alex

me: oh, he is a different tito alex. (coz i thought she might be thinking of the other tito alex she met in israel)

Sofia: no mama. he’s not alex. he is not a lion.

and it suddenly dawned on me that the alex she was referring to was the lion character in her all time favorite movie madagascar!!!

Alex and I can’t help but laugh after that mix up. Kasi nga naman the only Alex she truly “knows” is alex the lion… kaya she couldn’t believe that it can also be a name of a person.

and here’s another one:

baby, this is ate Kat.

and my little darling whispers.

“mama, she is not a cat“

oo nga naman…

rain rain go away…

One time while we’re on the road it started to rain…

“mama why is it raining?”

being the kulit mama i am..

“because the car needs to take a bath so it will be clean”**

i was relieved that she was satisfied with my reply and there was no immediate reaction/ follow up question… or so i thought!…

“so mama, where’s the soap?”

** my reply varies depending on the location. if we were at home i’d point out the garden outside and tell her that the plants need the water to help them grow etc etc.. or point out the clouds and give her a scientific answer or if i was crazy that day, i’d give her a crazy answer! lol! crazy mama! :p
