Abby Talk #3 – Banters with Abby

By munchkinmommy

abby talk 

It’s been a while since my last “Abby Talk” entry.  Here’s a few to keep the list updated.  Enjoy!

oOo

At the Dallas Arboretum with Mimi…

Abby:  Mimi, you’re my grandma?

Mimi:  Yes.

Abby:  Hi Grandma!

Mimi:  Don’t call me grandma!

Abby:  But you’re not grandpa!

Abby does have a point.  Hee hee!

This is one of four photos that goes with the above conversation.  It’s part of my “Madonna and Grandchild” series. ;)   I posted all the photos here. :)

oOo

Mimi sleeps in Abby’s room with Abby.  I lie on the bed with them, with Abby in-between Mimi and Me, until Abby falls asleep.  One night, while the three of us were lying down in the dark, Mimi asked Abby for a massage….

Mimi:  Abby, massage my head.

Abby: (Closes her eyes and pretends to sleep) I’m sleepy.

Me:  Mimi will give you a dollar tomorrow if you massage her head.

Abby:  I’m sleepy.

Me:  Ok, good night.

Abby:  (Opens her eyes and gives the request some thought.) Ok.

She then reached her hand out to Mimi’s forhead and began to massage it.  Then she turned her head to me while continuing to massage Mimi’s head and asked a question which had Mimi and me in stitches…

Abby:  That’s one dollar?

Sigurista!  And we assured her that she’ll get her dollar the next day. 

Me:  What will you do with your dollar?

Abby:  Hmm…put i t in the basket?

Me:  What basket?

Abby:  In church!

Naks!  What a nice gesture!  Hee hee!  After a few seconds she stopped and closed her eyes again but still not sleeping.

Mimi:  Abby, massage me some more.

Abby:  Two dollars?

Aba, at nakipagnegotiate pa! :D

oOo

In an effort to teach Abby Tagalog, I taught her the song “Sampung mga Daliri” complete with action a few nights ago.  She seemed to enjoy the song.  One night, while I was dressing her up after her bath, I decide to test her by asking her to fill in the missing lyrics to the song…

Me:  Sampung mga daliri…

Abby:  (Da)liri

Me:  Kamay at…

Abby:  Talong!  (She must have mixed it up with Bahay Kubo which we no longer sing…for special reasons. ;) )

Me:  Paa!…Dalawang tenga, dalawang…

Abby:  Ilong!

Me:  Mata!

I tested her just now and still insisted on “talong”.  Oh well, I’ll just keep at it. :D

Enjoy the rest of the week, y’all!

    hahaha, negosyante! :D atsaka ok lang naman yung ilong kasi it rhymes with talong, hehehe.

    teka, bakit hindi na kayo kumakanta ng bahay kubo?

    Hi Meeya! Mana si Abby sa kapatid ko. Hindi puwede maisahan. Hahaha! Ok lang sana yung “talong” for ilong…e kaso sa paa niya ipinapalit. Hehehe! Ang maganda naming dahilan kaya di na kami kumakanta ng Bahay Kubo e dahil…huwag na nakakahiya…o sige na nga…kanta daw kasi ng poor yun. Hahaha! Di ba? Kubo, tapos “kahit munti” pa. Di masyado nakakatulong if you’re into “think positive thoughts”. ;) Kaya “Diamonds” na ang kinakanta namin. Joke! Sige, pagtawanan mo ako! :P

    May future ang batang to! Di magugutom at marunong sa buhay. hehehe

    Hi Jen! Yun ang wish ko for Abby…that money will come easy for her when she grows up and not be something for her to worry about. ;) Hee hee hee! Mabuti at kahit 3 years old pa lang siya, marunong na siyang makipagdeal. Hahaha! :D

    Ang cute talaga ng mga antics ng mga bata no… sino kaya yung may dalawang ilong *giggles*

    Abby’s lucky, $1 for a massage, ako nuon 25 centavo per white hair! *LOL*

    Hi Mel! Tinanong ko nga siya kung ilan ba ang ilong niya! Hahaha! Ako noon dalawang piso sa pagmasahe naman sa Daddy ko. ;) Kita mo nga naman ang pagbabago ng panahon! Hahaha! :D

    ang galing makipag-negotiate ah! nakakatuwa! :)

    Hi Cez! Hindi pa ba nakikipagnegotiate si Caitlin? Hintay-hintayin mo. Hahaha! Kelang labas ni baby boy? I’m very excited for you! Mmmwah!

    hahaa, i had the same question as Meeya, mas lalo ako natawa sa sagot mo, hehee! :P

    haay, eh baka naman kaya $2 kasi para idadagdag nya sa basket sa church! :D

    Hi Abby! Naku, huwag kang matawa sa sagot ko tungkol sa Bahay Kubo…totoo yun! :D Hehehe! Kaya huwag mong ipapakanta sa baby mo. Mabuti pa yung “Paruparong Bukid” kasi magaganda ang mga paru-paro saka ano ba ang bukid?…diba farm? O, sosyal diba? Hahaha! ;)

    Alam mo itong Abby ko naman, mahilig talaga maghulog ng pera pag offertory! Basta me pera siya sa bulsa niya, hinuhulog niya sa basket! Hee hee! ;)

    Weng, funny si Abby. At least the money is used to help other people… how charitable. Two dollars pa ha… may be one for the Church and one for her.

    May be the next time Pinky and my kids ask me to give them a massage (baligtad no?) I should use Abby’s line… in case magwork. Hehehe!

    Hi Keith! Abby never ceases to amaze us with what comes out of her mouth. :D But I do think she’ll give all of the 2 dollars for Church. :) Whaaat? Ikaw nagmamassage kay Pinky and the kids?! Yung kay Pinky, I understand. Hahaha! I’m sure she returns the favor in more ways than one. ;) I doubt if Abby’s line will work with her though. Next thing you know, ikaw na nagmasahe, ikaw pa nagbayad! :P

    Hahaha!! This entry got me laughing so hard…especially the negotiation part with Mimi! But she’s a kind-hearted kid, I can tell. Hindi lahat ng bata willing ibigay ang hard-earned dollar nila sa offertory basket.

    Abby will grow up to be street-smart. Madiskarte! :)

    Hi Gracie! I’m glad I was able to make you laugh by sharing this. :) We were laughing so hard, too when we were having these conversations with here. I pray that hubby and I will be able to raise Abby to be generous and kind hearted and realize how nice it is to be a blessing to others. And I’d like her to be street-smart, too! :D Have a great week! :)

    Classic talaga humirit itong inaanak ko – hahaha! :lol:

    I’m positive she’ll thrive in whatever she goes into when she grows up – kitang-kita ang ebidensya sa post mo e ;)

    Hugs and kisses to sweet, smart Abby! Mwah!

    Hi Pinky! I think it’s safe to say that we parents have the same wishes for our children and one of them is to thrive in whatever they will choose to do and wherever their dreams take them. :D I’ll happily deliver your hugs and kisses to Abby! Mwah! :)

    abby is really funny! ang dami ng kids talaga ngayon that are really witty, but very innocent. parang they can always get away with anything because of their cute hirits :) and goodluck with the “talong” :)

    Hi Iris! The wit and innocence of children really add to their charm (as if they need to be any more charming than they already are!). Sometimes, I have to remind myself that Abby is only 3. We’re still working on the “talong”. Hahaha! :)
