Fake Mermaids And A Ceiling Waterfall

Manila Trip Day 3
(June 6, Saturday afternoon)

Eli: S'go out, Doogie
Woog: It's raining out there.

Boys: We're in, we're in! Yay!

Eli-gator? Doogie-dile?


Tatay: I'll throw you in, 'Pet?
Eli: No! Throw you...Tatay!

Woog: Me, me! Throw me in, Mom! Can I bring one home?

Cuddle time in the dark

Some are gray...

and some are red...

and some can swallow your entire head!


Woog: Ew. Sting-ray fart. Ew.


Eli: Sweep! Want to sweep!

Woog: Let's sleep here, Eli.

Woog: Whoah!

Eli: Shark...eat you!

Soaking tired footsies and getting our calluses cannibalized

Woog is tickled. Literally.

Mom: Woog, let's go watch the mermaid show!
Woog: (rolls eyes) The mermaids are fake, Mom. They're wearing goggles.

Back at the Sampaloc aparment penthouse. 11 P.M.

Propery manager: Dondi, you better call home. You mother rang. She says your ceiling caved in.

Me: !!!!!

Hello? Mom?! What happened?

Wawa: Haaaay, Dondi. You really put me on the spot. I'm still here cleaning up your apartment. It rained so hard, the wall of the master bedroom is a waterfall. What a mess! I've had to dry your birth certificates on the clothesline.

Me: Oh no!

Wawa: (aggrieved sigh) This is a sign that you really need to get a house of your own.

Me: Is there anything else that's damaged?

Wawa: Stuff. You can check when you get home. There's no food in the fridge, either.

Me: Remind me again why I hate vacations.
