Philosophy 2 to 3.5: My Son Rafa

Philosophy 2 to 3.5: My Son Rafa

And well, kids just say the darnest things.

# 1.

RAFA:

“Mom , how did I get here?”

RAFA’S MOM:

“Oh, Jesus gave you to us, sweetie.”

A long pause as if thinking really hard,

RAFA:

“Mom, pumunta ba dito si Jesus sa Balut , ha Mommy?

Nagtaxi ba siya, ?”

(“Mom did Jesus come here in Balut ( our place), hmm Mommy?

Did He ride a taxi?”)

( huh.)

#2.

RAFA:

*Mom , where is Michael Jackson?

RAFA’S MOM:

“He is in heaven , sweetie.”

RAFA:

“Mom Noooooooh!He is not.”

“But He said “He’s BAD “, mommy!”

Because I’m Bad, I’m Bad-
Come On
You Know I’m Bad, I’m Bad-
You Know It
…..
And The Whole World Has To
Answer Right Now
Just To Tell You Once Again,
Who’s Bad ?

#3.

RAFA:

“Tonight, I am angry at you mommy!”

MY HUSBAND:

“Hey, do not say that to your mom. She is your Mom.

Do not even use the word angry with the word Mom. “

RAFA ( thinking again:)

“Galit ako sa Asawa mo Daddy!

( I am angry at your Wife, Daddy!)

Objection Sustained. Rephrase.

#4. In Ocean Park, Hongkong while riding the Cable Car ,

my son Rafa said

Mom what do you call this?

RAFA’S MOM:

Oh , this is a Cable Car….

RAFA:

Where are the wheels? Mom, nooooooh THIS IS NOT A CAR!

#5. In Singapore this time, as we sat down at the backseat of our tour van ,

My son kept on craning his neck as if looking for something.

He just could not stay still.

And then as the van was already running,

He suddenly whispered in a horrified voice…

“Mom look, did you see that?”

“Our van?… NO DRIVER(??..)”

( I forgot to tell him that as oppose to the Philippines, Singapore is on a right hand drive and the driver would not be in his usual place.)

#6.

After playing with Sky, the dog of his Uncle Chardy & Auntie Avic

My son RAFA decided:

“Mom! Mom! I want a dog, NOW!

I want a dog just like Sky! “

RAFA’S MOM:

“Hey Rafa we cannot keep dogs here, Daddy told you that already. Remember we did not bring home the dog that Ninong Joe ( his Godparent) was suppose to give you?
We do not have a place for a dog here, not yet.”

RAFA:

Even Mickey has a dog and he is a just a MOUSE !
