Line of 7

We were prepared for the worse because he briefed us beforehand that he got a "few" line of 7 grades. That was quite a blow but noting his worried countenance we consoled, "We're not happy, that's for sure but we'll treat it as we usually do - like a team. We just have to work extra hard. I'll be more strict, no more dilly-dallying pag mag-study na."
He shared, "Worried gud talaga, Nay when I knew. Until now. Buti konti lang galit ni Tatay." Only to find out the only line of 7 he got was 97 for CLE :P We don't know where he got the impression :P Imagine our relief! He had to work harder for English and Math though. Only 85. He did promise he'd work double time this time. Sana nga. My realization, it pays not to push that hard so that the motivation to work harder is for the right reasons... #cardday

Dagdagan Mo Pa

Conversation ng mag-ama over lunch: Tatay (joking), "30 na lang ang allowance mo next week, Rod. Kasi naghingi ka ng 20 kanina, binili mo ng iced tea." Rod, after a while said, "Dagdagan mo pa yung 30 Tay, kasi nag-inom ka man." :P

Reward

Rod: "Nanay I got 6 mistakes in English." Then very quickly, "But I got perfect (score) in Araling Panlipunan. You give me 100 as a prize."
Me: What!? Wasn't the agreement some school supplies that costs 1OO or below?
Rod: Okay, okay. Pero dapat akin lang Nay ha? Kasi reward ko. Dati I had to split the markers with Ate and Forest.
Me: "Okay." Teasing, I added, "But shouldn't we rethink this? Madali lang man ang Aral Pan so dapat 50 peso worth equivalent lang. Tapos pag Math and Science and English, 100 peso worth na."
Rod: Waaaaah! :)
