So yesterday I went to Quiapo with Kat and Ayee, and thus went home harassed and tired (story for another day). I arrived home to find not one, not two, but five squalling brats at Nanay’s house. I sat down on the dinner table, placed my head on my hands, turned to Nanay and said, “Nay, I now accept that all children are annoying, and I don’t think mine will be exceptions to the rule. Please take care of my kids when I have some.”

Nanay just replied, “Sige.”

A sudden thought occurred to me so I added, “Was I ever annoying as a kid?”

“No, sinuntok at pinaiyak mo lang yung nang-aaway sa kuya mo, pero hindi ka naman annoying.”
