Kids say the darndest things---just after lunch a few kids were at the studio and out of the blue, one of them said: Kid: I have a secret to tell you tita. Me: What is it? (thinking it was something like pulling her own loose tooth) Kid: Naay big sin akong lola. Nobody knows about this. It's a secret but I will tell you tita. Me: (curious) What sin did your lola commit? Kid: Nangawat siya tita. Me: Ha? Unsa iya kawat? Manok? Kid: No tita. It's money. That is why she disappeared and is nowhere to be found. Me: Hala, maybe you should do your best to find your lola to see if she is okay. Kid: We don't know where she is na. I didn't know what to say.

"Kawat" means still. The sentence means "She stole something Tita." "Tita is a title of respect one gives to an older person.

Some parts of it are in English. The kid said her "lola" or grandmother stole some money that is why she is nowhere to be found.

Hi, How about my six-year old girl who approached me one night and asked me her nth question: You are getting old, are you going to die soon or will you live for long? I really have no answer to that one. It left me in the dark so I just mumbled a middle estimate: between sooner and later. I think she was satisfied with it and asked no more explanation, with the endless why's that was bound to follow, I am not up to the topic at hand.

Yeah Rog, sounds funny but not really. I was asked that question and I didn't know how to answer that either. LOL
