Matthew Gets Barok




Matthew's favorite play is role-playing. He loves to play Teacher Mommy lately, and I was trying to sharpen his English skills. He speaks English a lot but when you combine words he knows into sentences he sometimes gets lost.

Proof:

Matthew: [shouting] "Lolo, give me five dollars! (His version of 20 pesos) I need five dollars!"
Lolo: "What do you need five dollars for?"
Matthew: "Lolo, (in an exasperated voice)...ONE.TWO.THREE.FOUR! FOUR!" [parang tinuruan pa ang Daddy ko magbilang no?]

Mommy: "Matthew, what did you do in school today?"
Matthew: [sheepish grin] "Good Morning!"

During bedtime, we were still practicing the "Speak in English policy"
My bro entering the bedroom..
Bro: "Aggie, [insert question in Tagalog here]"
Matthew: "SPEAK IN ENG-LISH!"

Matthew: [while coloring his books] yelling "Don't touch in me! Don't touch in me" HAHAHAHAHA! THE BAROK BRAT!

He loves to make his own stories too:
"Once upon a time, there was a little boy named..Goldilocks!! Goldilocks saw the Wolf! on the mansion over the bridge and he said: "Oh my! What big ears you have" "All the better to eat you with!" And the Goldilocks and the three bears ran and the water and the big castle! The End.

Tapos na.
[mommy jokes: Ops! Speak in English!]
Matthew: [napikon na] No English. Wag na. Wala na.


Hehehe. My son talaga.
Sabi ko na nga ba, he gets cartoon English only.
[He speaks English well, but as you see, you cannot force a three year old kid to speak English well in a very Tagalog household. c",)]
He speaks "Darnit!" quite well though, courtesy of his Titas.
