My mom spent a few days with us just recently. Coming from Palawan, she decided to do a side-trip to Manila for a visit. The following are some of our conversations...
Conversation 1: On our new house help from Antique
Me: Mommy, turuan mo nga si Alma mag-asin
Mom: Bakit?
Me: Tikman mo yung luto niya dali
*Mom takes a spoonful of Beef Nilaga soup
Mom: Oo nga matabang
Me and Mom (in unison while looking straight to each other's eyes):
Conversation 2: On Birth Certificate
Mom: Nako diba dati may problema yung birth certificate ko?
Me: Anong nangyari?
Mom: Ang alam ko talaga yung full name na binigay ng Inay is Lilia Crispina. Nung binasa ng NSO sabi nila Lilia Anastacia. Ang Pangeeet!
Me: Wag ka Russian Princess kaya si Anastasia
Mom: Ay talaga??? Sige yun nalang!
Conversation 3: After watching Ateneo vs LaSalle in Araneta
Mom: Grabe ang galing talaga nung #12 lumulusot sa ilalim!
Koi: Sino ba kasi yung 12???
Mom: Yung amerkano!
Me (in my head): Dear Lord, ayoko na kami ni mommy ay maging
BATTLE OF FANTASY LAND, coming soon!
