Basti's Question of the Day

Last Friday, MH told me about a conversation that happened between him and Basti.

MH: "Basti, mag-behave ka ha!" (Basti, please behave!)

Basti: "Bakit mo pinakekealaman buhay ko?" (Why are you meddling with my life?)

MH: "At bakit ko 'di pakikialaman ang buhay mo?" (And why won't I meddle with your life?)

MH admitted that for the first time in his lifetime as a father, he was shocked and was speechless after hearing those words. MIL overheard the conversation and told Basti that it wasn't a right thing to say.

At first, I thought it was hilarious - coming from a 3-year old boy. But I spoke to him about it and he just repeated what he told his Dada and chuckled afterwards. I told him to say sorry and he gladly approached his Dada to apologize.

I was wondering where he picked up the line and I it might be that he heard it on a program that he's watching - I just can't figure out where. It can be in one of those programs he watches in the evening. But just the same, I'm amazed at how my little guy picks up these things almost instantly. Now, we really should be careful in picking the programs that he sees on the telly.

And here goes another "Kids Say the Darnest Things" episode from Basti.
