as a yearly tradition, we celebrated charlie's 17th birthday at chili's tomas morato. as we stepped out on the street and waited for our car, some kids selling sampaguita approached us.
kid: ate, bili ka na ng sampaguita.
me: sorry, wala na akong pera eh.
kid: diba sabi nila, "it's better to give than to receive"? (w/ matching puppydog eyes)
me: mmmm
kid: sige na! ishare mo na ang major major blessings mo!
me: *giggles*
the kid heads off to my dad who seem to have given another kid some coins.
kid: kuya, pahingi rin ako!
dad: e nagbigay na ako dun sa isang bata. share na lang kayo.
kid: eh "it's better to give than to receive"!
dad: ah ganun ba? eh di ako naman ang bigyan mo!
kid: (walks away, while scratching his head)
sometimes, even dads say the darnest things. :)
