Poor Little Girl

Poor Little Girl



Hummin': Win by Brian Mcknight


Like a little child, she meekly said she was afraid to look under her pants for fear of seeing too big of a wound on her knee. Hearing the quiver in her voice, I was concerned and asked her what happened.

And she says, "Nadapa ako, on the same spot kung saan nadapa ako ng malakas before."

I nod my head, remembering that time where being focused on her 10-peso Mcdo sundae almost got her ran over by a huge truck after tripping on a crack in the pavement. But she corrects me by saying, "The one where I stepped out the elevator, tripped and fell on the marble tiles...sa school ni Achie."

I winced at the sudden memory. Ouch.

"What happened?" I squeezed for details. "Lagi ka nalang nadadapa ah!" I said with a chuckle at how clumsy she gets.

"Ikaw ba naman tae-han ng ibon, hindi ka ba madi-distract?!" she rhetorically asked. I guffawed, imagining the ridiculous scene as I had witnessed in previous "tripping accidents" where her lack of concentration almost killed an innocent potted-plant in the mall unfortunately placed on her path.

She pretended to be offended, and then laughed along, continuing her story. "Eh kasi naglalakad ako ng mabilis, tapos biglang may warm na nahulog sa kamay ko! On impulse, inamoy ko, nadistract ako and then, nadapa!"

WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I just couldn't help myself, but laugh uncontrollably at my mom, who with her petite height, chubby frame and short, copper-tinted hair, probably looked both pitiful and hilarious!

Baho ba
?

Peace! Hahahahahaha!!!

** To cap this entry, let me just say that I AM FREE for almost a whole month of semester break!!! Yip yip yeheeey!!!
