Conversations with Baz & Hadrien (Part 10)

I came upon a crying Baz. Apparently, Hadrien had pinched him. After first trying to make it appear that Baz had pinched him first, Hadrien offered this explanation for his deed:

"It's bad to drink other people's responsibility!" Baz's offense: taking a sip of Hadrien's milk!

B: Papa, Gramps wants to be an astronaut! Can he be an astronaut?

Papa: Yes, he can be one.

B: Gramps is already 74, he will be 93 when I'm 25! He'll be too old!

H: He will have to wear a toupee!

The kids, who think that spicy food is bad even if they eat spicy food unknowingly, threatened to throw all the Tabasco sauce away one day.

H: Mommy, when I'm an adult, I'm going to throw away all the Tabasco sauce!

M: You know, even when you're an adult, I'll still be your mommy, and I'll get mad if you throw my Tabasco sauce away.

H: Mommy, when you're dead!

My take on this is that he implicitly assured me obedience for as long as I'm alive :)

_____________

B: How many people are there in Parc?

Papa: How many floors are there in Parc?

B: 27 floors, and there are 2 units in front, 2 units in the back and 4 units on the side of each floor, so how many people will there be?

Papa: (pauses for a moment) 200! (nanghula nalang!)

Hadrienisms Part 2

The boys have an accent. For Hadrien specially, it's because he can't, or refuses to, enunciate some letters preferring instead to emphasize the vowels in the syllables with consonants "r" and "l". His teachers told us once that Hadrien gets upset they can't decipher what he's trying to say. But instead of saying the word more slowly, he just repeats himself but with a louder voice, and a frustrated look to match.

Lately though, he's trying to figure out different ways to help us understand what he's saying.

H: Yaya, can I have kwa-kes? (crackers)

Yaya: What?! Cockroach?!@#$%

H: No, sky-fakes!

____________

H: Look at that tuck!

Mommy: What tuck?

Y: The big car behind us!

_____________

H: Is Venice on "Ot" (earth)

M: What's "ot"?

H: The pa-net (planet) , hee (here), where we ah!

Football, football!

I guess the couple of sessions we attended at Futbol Funatics did pay off. Baz and Hadrien are naturals in running with the ball as you can see when they played football with Daddy and Papa!

Once or twice, Baz managed to kick the ball in between Papa's legs and score a goal. It's a pity I missed that shot :( Unfortunately, what I got is this where it was Papa who pulled one over Baz, who scratched his head in exasperation - or bewilderment - you choose!

I didn't play much as I was the designated photographer but I was able to steal the ball from Raffy and score myself! The competition got so fierce that Papa lost his balance when he tried to prevent Baz from scoring a goal! Here is Papa after his spill.



And here's the mokong playing monkey when he felt he had had enough!

By the way, did you notice that all of the boys were in stripes?

It was Nanay's 97th birthday that day. Happy birthday, Nanay!
