palusot

Posted on October 9, 2008

Mateo and I were in the library the other day. A grade three student gave him a small ball and I reprimanded Mateo because he kept on throwing the small and semi-shouting ‘throw’. Here’s what happened:

Mateo: THROW! (proceeds to throw and then run after the ball)

Me: (getting the ball from him) Don’t throw the ball, Mateo. Mama will hold onto the ball if you throw it again. No throw. Don’t throw, okay?

Mateo: okay!

(I give the ball back to him)

(Mateo proceeds to throw the ball again but this time…)

Mateo: CATCH! (runs after the ball again after throwing)

Me: Mateo, don’t throw, don’t catch. Sige, mama will hold onto the ball. No throw, no catch. Okay?

(Mateo looked at me with a thoughtful look on his face then he made the act of throwing with his arms then asked me…)

Mateo: PASS?

Me: Don’t throw, don’t catch, don’t pass. Okay?

Mateo: okay

Me: If you throw or catch or pass, mama will not return the ball to you. Okay , you want it back?

Mateo: want

Me: How do you ask for it properly?

Mateo: want po

He then got the ball from my hands and happilly held on to it. I was glad he didn’t throw the ball again. However, after several seconds I saw him put the ball on the floor and then kicked it!

Hay…. kids will be kids and boys will be boys ;)

aba, kung sino-sino na ang nagtuturo e. hehe! yung mga bata sa school ang kukulit din sa kanya. Si Junichi ang pakilala nya kay Mateo, ‘Idol’ kaya ang tawag sa kanya ni Mateo tuwing makikita sya ‘Idol!’ Yung isang student din gumaya, nagpakilala na ‘Boss’ kaya ang tawag din ni Mateo sa kanya ‘boss’

Uy, miss ka na namin! Punta ka sa friday sa hedcen? Baby shower ni Joanna! :)

That’s one thing I noticed with kids. Pag sinabi mong don’t, yung ang gagawin hehe! Pag sumunod naman, tahimik lang for a while then sisimple ulit pag makalusot.
