Never Ending Story

I am blessed with a very responsible kid. She got  home a little after five and told me that Kuya Richard, the sub school service, scolded them for playing and making him wait 30 minutes. Then, she cleaned our room and swept it, too. I rewarded her with a movie, Spiderwick Chronicles, which she loved by the way.

After the movie I asked her if she wanted to watch Neverending Story. She looked at with a horrified face and said "Hindi sya mage-end?" Then she told me she has a lot of things to do. Fix her school stuff, prepare her uniform for tomorrow, and do her assignments. I told her we didn't have to watch the movie today. She was relieved. What an kid!

And Gabby Scores....

My daughter is a constant source of joy and amusement to me. Last night, while she was fixing her things for school, we had the following conversation:

Me: Gabby, puede ba na pag nasa kwarto ka tahimik ka? (Would it be possible for you to keep quiet inside the room?) No shouting, singing too loud, no babbling, just quiet?

Gabby:  Bakit mama simbahan ba 'to? (Why mama, is this a church?) (Note: She used her most obnoxious voice)

I just laughed at her. Sometimes her witty remarks render me speechless. :)

An Unexpected (SHOCKING!) Request

This afternoon Gabby and I walked to the supermarket to buy fish for dinner (She loves fish!). On our way back she asked me to keep all her clothes stored. This isn't really unusual by itself. She's made that request several times in the past. But what shocked me (and I guess every mom of a 5 year old girl would be) is the reason why she wanted me to keep her clothes.

 "Para pag nagkaaanak ako."


I didn't think I heard that correctly so I asked her to explain. She said she wanted to save her clothes for the baby she will have in the future. I was shocked that at her age she knows that she wants to have a baby (Well, at least she didn't say babies!) Now I know that my daughter's going to be more than a handful when she hits puberty.

a-CHOO CHOO Gabby!

"Mama, I'm a train!"

And so my imaginative five year old informed me. It caught my interest since she'd dress up like a princess, a mermaid, or a fairy, but never a train. At first I thought this has something to do with Thomas and Friends so I asked. How?

Then she made a train's noise using her snotty-filled nose. Hahaha. Thank God she's not going to ask me to make a train costume. I wouldn't have a clue.
