It was one lazy afternoon at my parent's house. Andre, my three year old nephew, was watching Tom and Jerry cartoons when my dad asked him, "Would you like to go with us to the states?"
"States? Yes!" Andre answered back, completely ignoring the show he was watching, as if he understood what my dad just asked him.
"Pero paano ka sasama sa amin ni Gwama, wala ka pang visa? (But how will you go with me and Grandma, you don't have a visa yet?)", my dad asked him again.
"Visa?" I just love the way he had this puzzled look.
"Ah, alam ko na, ikakahon nalang kita para makasama ka. (Oh, I know, I'll just put you in a box so we can bring you with us.)" My dad chuckled.
"No!!! Kuha mo ako visa! (Get me a visa!) This time all of us were already laughing. My nephew didn't understand what a visa was, but would rather have one than being plunked into a box.
I asked him, "Why do you want to go to the states?"
"Because I'd like to ride an airplane," he snapped back.
"Why is that?" I asked him again.
"I'll look for daddy sa (in the) airplane," he said.
Even when he got it all mixed up, we all found him so cute! The afternoon turned out not so lazy after all. We all had a hearty laugh and it felt real good.
I'm so glad to be back!!!

Hi Pia!

Oh my, that new picture is so very beautiful. Breath-taking, really.
Loved the nephew story. I babysat my two and three year old nephews a couple of weeks ago. It's so funny to see the things they say. It was also special to watch my husband enjoy them. He loved that age when ours were smaller.
It's so good to be back in touch with you, Pia. You are an incredible blessing.
