I was touched but also quietly replied, "Why do you think so?"
Forest: Kasi, naa kay work, ganun. Bright ka. Di ka katulad ng ibang Nanay na pag di magbuhat sa work sa school, wala lang.
Me: So you mean, ga-yawyaw ko? So it's a good thing then?
Forest: No. Kanang magsulti gyud ka na humanon gyud ang work sa school...
Then she went out of the bathroom and the moment has passed.

Earlier today we also drove Rod around. It was supposed to be just Tatay and him. However, a family asked that we buy thermal thermometer for them as they were being monitored. So off I went with them. We had to pick up a classmate, drove them to a milk tea shop, drop off a milk tea order to another classmate and another...
The funny thing was Rod expressed he felt ashamed for taking mine and Tatay's time so he is paying Tatay the P 120 he received as payment for the milk tea he ordered for one of his classmates. In reply I joked that said amount hardly covers the daily minimum wage. I felt his sincerity though and felt happy about it.
We're raising kind, good kids, it seemed. Thank you, God!
