Pancho's "not so ridiculous" questions.
One time while we were on our way home...
Pancho: Where do babies come from Mom?
Mom:Ask Dada..
Pancho: Dada , where do babies come from?
Dada: From Mom's stomach.
Pancho: Mom, How did the babies get in your stomach?
Mom: when two people are in love, like a mom and a dada, the babies grow in the mom's stomach.
Pancho: I know that they grow big inside your stomach, but how do they get there?
Mom: Uuyyy Look! McDonalds! who wants to eat?
As we were inside the church waiting for the mass to start....
Pancho: Mom, how come Papa Jesus is always wearing a headband?
Mom: where?
Pancho:There look at him on the cross..
Mom:Ahhh..that's not a headband, you call that crown of thorns. The bad guys did that to Papa Jesus.
Pancho:O.. there na naman Mom..He's wearing a different headband!
This time he was referring to the rays of light around the head of Jesus.
Mom: Those are light anak...it's like the light of the holy spirit...like the one you're drawing in your notebook? And the mass is about to start so you keep quiet na ok?
Pancho:Mom..last na..How come Papa Jesus has long hair? He looks like a girl sometimes eh.
Mom: Maybe... uhmmm...they don't have a barber during that time.
While we were watching tv, he started asking me a couple of questions about himself...
Pancho: Mom, where was I born?
Mom: Cardinal Santos Hospital...the one where we always have a check up.
Pancho:How big was I when I was born?
Mom: you were a very big baby...8lbs.
Pancho: How do I look like when I got out of your stomach?
Mom: You were so dark and so fat and you were crying so loud!
Pancho: Hahaha that's funny. Mom...How come you know so many things about me?
Mom: Because I'm your Mom...that's why.
You know that children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers.

Cool Change
Maki never fails to amaze me. The other day while we were together in our room he started singing something I couldn't understand. He was singing it on a different speed for sure and definitely it was no nursery rhyme. I waited for him to finish and asked him what that song was. And all he ever said was " I dunno mom."
Knowing Maki's taste for music, I figured it was Linkin Park. "No mom it's not Linkin Park, but it's nice also, I forgot the title eh." He went back to singing this time it was louder and better and was even pretending that he was strumming a guitar.
Then Kuya Pancho came and said "that's Maki's new favorite song Mom, by Santana". Santana??? Maki who just turned 4? Oh well...at least he has mellowed down from Linkin Park to Santana. Kids these days....
Santana feat. Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) - Why Don't You & I
Since the moment I spotted you,
Like walking around with little wings on my shoes,
My stomach's filled with the butterflies,
Ooh, and it's all right,
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud,
I'd got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I'd said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied,
Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
When's this fever going to break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take,
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around,
Ooh, and it's all right,
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down,
If I'd said I didn't like it then you'd know I lied.
Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
Slowly I begin to realize,
This is never going to end
Right about the same time you walk by,
And I say 'Oh here we go again',
Oh!
Everytime I try to talk to you,
I get tongue-tied,
It turns out that everything I say to you,
Comes out wrong and never comes out right.
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
So I'll say why don't You and I,
Get together and take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again,
So I'll say you why don't You and I,
Get together and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven,
Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
