childhood pleasures
i hate jeepney drivers who wait for passengers like forever, good thing the jeep i was in didn't take that long and there were kids to keep me from boredom.
two handsome kids. brothers aged maybe five and three (this i know because his mom asked him how old he was and he said two, his mother corrected him, he was three already. they were talking about penises. i couldn't figure out exactly what about, but they were giggling and their mom was trying to cover their mouths because they saying "titi!" "titi!"
i looked at their mom with a smile and she smiled back. they were so cute! long eyelashes, thin lips, nice teeth and sweet innocent smiles. as the jeep went its way - finally - snaking through bonifacio road, they were singing YMCA. "Y-M-C-A- te-ne-ne-ne-ne-nen" over and over.
i got off at the post office and walked past the pre-school near the cathedral, it was dismissal time and kids and parents were all over the place. i went down the steps through the alley between slu school center and the other slu building. i saw a little girl with curly long hair walking, coming from a vendor nearby. she bought some kiddie delight wrapped in plastic and couldn't tear it open with her fingers. cutie then bit off a part of the plastic and managed to open it. i wasn't able to control myself to smirk when (as she bit off that piece of plastic off) her head was kind of thrown away backwards. it was cute and funny at the same time.
cute kids. :)
