Kagabi bago matulog, niyakap ko si Addie.
Me: I love you so much, Addie. Do you know that?
Addie: Even if you have a new baby na?
Me: Yes! And Mommy is not going to have a baby yet. Sana may baby brother or sister ka na.
Addie: Mommy, how can there be a baby on your tummy?
Me: (Pak! Inumpisahan ko pa kasi!!!!!) By praying to Papa Jesus. We have to pray very hard so that Mommy will get pregnant na.
Addie: How do you get pregnant?
Me: (Tinuloy ko pa kasi talaga noh?!?!) Uhm, Papa Jesus will give the baby to a magic stork. The magic stork will bring it to me.
Addie: You’re joking.
Me: No, I’m not.
(Hanap ng picture ng stork na may dalang baby sa google.)
Addie: Ohhhh…. who puts the baby in the blanket? Who ties the blanket on the stork?
Me: Papa Jesus.
Addie: Di ba Papa Jesus is just a baby. Why you call him Papa Jesus?
Me: Papa Jesus became old na. You’ll learn about Papa Jesus in school, or we’ll read about him tomorrow.
Addie: I want to watch a youtube of the stork with the baby. (Adik lang sa youtube)
Me: Why?
Addie: That’s not real picture eh.
(Oo nga naman, drawing lang…)
Me: There’s no video because it’s a magic stork. No one can see them. They will only go out from the magic clouds when everyone is sleeping. (Imbento pa more! Nakakapagod to!)
Addie: Who made the stork?
Me: Papa Jesus.
Addie: Where did Papa Jesus c[o]me from when he was a baby?
(Anak ng!!!!!! Buko na ko dito!!)
Times like these you need a juicy!!!
Me: (Tingin sa relo) Hala, it’s time to sleep na it’s very late na.
Addie: But….
Me: GOOD NIGHT ADDIE! I LOVE YOU. (Sabay patay ilaw.)
Mommies, help!!! Paano ine-explain to?!

Hmmm, Ms. D ako inexplain ko sa daughter ko scientifically. Sabi ko lang babies are formed when an egg cell and a sperm cell meet. Tapos nanood kami sa Youtube ng video ng fertilization. She was maybe 4 or 5 years old then.
Oh… gawin ko when she turns 5 na 🙂 Thank you, Twinkle!
Hahaha! Pwedeng isama si Addie sa anak ko! Madali lang yan D, ‘I don’t know, you better ask Daddy’ hehehe
Ang taba ng utak ng mga bata talaga.. Sabihin nyo na lang po Ms. D “Ask you Dad” Hehehehehe 🙂
