levityQuote of the day-
They weren't monsters. We were fooled. We were made to expect the denizens of the Villamor Air Base Elementary School to be little monsters, creatures that would make us glad to be back in the wards with the colonoscopies and the cotton-ball making. They were annoying and they were patience-eating and gods above I never want to explain about "mesa" and "saba" again, but they were nice.
Me: Alin dito ang binili ng nanay sa palengke? Yung kabayo, yung kotse, o yung gulay at isda?
One of the VABES kids: Yung kotse!
Me: Pag pumunta ba sa palengke ang nanay mo, makakabili siya ng kotse?
The VABES kid: Hindi! Wala kaming pera!
I let it slide, because sometimes there's nothing you can do but laugh.
(So on the blackboard there was a drawing of an ice cream cone, and underneath that the teacher, who I believe has more patience than any saint, had written "__pa".)
The Teacher: Ano ito, class?
The VABES Kids: Apa!!!!
The Teacher: Anong ilalagay mo sa "pa" para maging "apa"?
The VABES Kids: Ice cream!!!
The Teacher: Ano ito, class?
The VABES Kids: Apa!!!!
The Teacher: Anong ilalagay mo sa "pa" para maging "apa"?
The VABES Kids: Ice cream!!!
