What a Waste!

It amuses me how young children view the world at times. It is such a privilege to tune in on their thoughts. , we just shrug their comments off but if you listen, if you really listen, you may just catch some nuggets of wisdom.

Here are some classic stories very typical of my mango-loving, soda-drinking boy.

Precious Natural Resource -- 16 March 2008

When we arrived home at Makati the other weekend, I discovered that GI had brought home a bag full of green mangoes from Cebu Avenue. I teased him and said that he didn't even leave any mangoes for his Lolo and Lola.

He was quite defensive over the mangoes and was certain that he had done the right thing.

"WHAT?" he said. "If I left the mangoes at Cebu Avenue, they'd just sit there and turn yellow! What a waste!"

(He had the mangoes over the next few days ... just the way he likes them ... GREEN.)

Father treated out the whole family for lunch last 01 May 2008. GI ordered soda and so did RD. When RD's soda came, he quickly poured his drink into the glass that came with it. GI on the other hand, simply opened his soda and drank from the can.

"I don't want to dilute my soda. If I pour it into the glass, it would be more ice than soda. What a waste!"
