Tiny Talks: Part 4
Friday, October 01, 2004
This morning, my 7 year old brother, Judo, knocked on my door. I open the door to see him holding something I quite couldn't make out.

Judo: Uhh, happy birthday, Ate Cat!
Me: (about to open my mouth and tell him it's not my birthday today but he interrupts me)
Judo: I know your birthday is still in two months but I got you something.
(Judo hands me the present. It's a toy pearl necklace.)
Me: (Very much touched and delighted) Wow!!! (I pick him up and hug him, even if he was sweaty from playing under the sun). Thank you!!! (Thinking it must have cost him his allowance) How much did you buy this?
Judo: Ten pesos.
Me: From where?
Judo: School! From the fair!

Now I wear my early birthday present around my wrist as a reminder of how such a bratty kid can be an angel.

(Hmmm, I just realized-- maybe he won the necklace in one of the game booths and didn't know what to do with it! =p )
