My one-of-a-kind conversation with my DAD! ^_^
My family and I were eating dinner. Ndi nakapagluto c mama ng ulam so napagdesisyunan na lang magpadeliver sa Jollibee. Of course I was thrilled na naman… FOOD again and JOLLIBEE again. ^_^. While eating, napag usapan nina mama and papa ang tungkol sa mga utang utang. I don’t know kung paano napunta dun ung usapan pero they were giving their own opinions and grievances regarding that matter. Then napunta ulit ang usapan nila sa mga appliances. My mom plans to buy another TV again (i think it’s TV she said) and so, she said it to my dad. Here’s how the conversation flowed all throughout our dinner:
“Sweetheart, kahit kelan naman tau pwede bumili ng mga appliances eh. Ndi naman tau mauubusan ng TV sa stores.”
“Anu ka ba, papa. Mauubusan at mauubusan din tau nian noh.”
“No anak. Hangga’t mabenta ang TV magsusupply sila nian. Of course alam ko ang batas ng demand at supply. Remember, nagturo din ako ng Economics sa FEU, UE and Manila Montessori.”
“Pa, ang yabang mo. Porke’t nagturo ka dun, pinagmamayabang mo na. Eh mga 2nd class-schools lang naman un. Pero I have to admit. I like your opinion about the TV. U are such an optimist.”
“Anak, there are times na pessimist din naman ako. Pero maganda din na ikaw ang naging anak ko. Balanse ang family naten kahit 3 lang tau. Let me and your mom be the dreamer and you the worrier, ok?”
I was stunned. My dad is usually wala sa bahay. Pag umuuwi xa, tulog ako. Pag aalis na ako, tulog xa. And pag-uwi ko from school, wala na xa. Right now, wala siya dito. He’s at Tagaytay Highlands and dun siya nagstay since monday until sa sunday. May mga ka-meeting xa somewhere there. So, conversations like that are really hard to come by. Kaya nga natutuwa ako eh! Kahit na he is so tired and all, he still finds a way to mingle with me and stun me with his not-so-ordinary “antics”. ^_^
