lex bait

Ate shares her story of how a parent can be proud of their 5-year old child. When Lex wants something, she asks "Mommy, sweldo mo ba?" If Ate says no, then she'll keep her mouth shut. When she sees a new kind of Barbie on TV, she would say "Mommy, di ba ibibili mo lang ako nyan kapag sale lang, di ba?"

I was touched I nearly cried. Nanay and Tatay cried when I retold the story to them.

I never thought a kid could be mature enough to understand some of life's complicated situations.

That day, I learned the importance of silence and patience from my 5-year old niece.
