Long Winded Isabel
This morning when Isabel was doing her ‘business’ in the toilet, Ian played with his IKEA tortoise (softtoy). As usual, he had his silly conversation with his ‘best friend’, I didn’t pay attention to what he said.
Then I heard Isabel repeated the same question from the toilet: “Kokor (brother), why Tortoise cannot swim?”
After asking a few times, Ian finally answered: “Because this tortoise doesn’t know how to swim, so I am teaching him to swim now.”
Isabel not satisfied, repeated, “Kokor, why Tortoise cannot swim?”
Ian: “….” (paused for a loong while, then:)
“Asked already, cannot”
Hahahaha! Ian’s answer is so chicky. Well, Isabel is actually quite long winded. The other day I met the school van’s driver. He told me the same. He said, whenever Isabel sees him at noon, she would repeat the same, “My mama is coming to fetch me.”
After he acknowledge her, she would come to face him and repeat the same. Then he acknowledged, turned around, and she came to face him and again, repeat the same! She would keep on doing until either the guy leaves or she leaves. See who has the longest breath. LOL!
