MOMI LAUGHS| Anecdotes of a grandmother

November 28, 2016 · 25 Comments

If my boys say the darndest things, my mom can also say and do the most surprising and unexpected things ever. Sharing with you some of those anecdotes of a grandmother –

Anecdotes of a grandmother on Sterilize Yael

October 7, 2015

I so love my mom. She is such a doting grandmother to my boys; never will she allow anything bad happen to them- catching illness included. So when we got home yesterday after a long day of errands, her advice:

Momi: i-sterilize mo mabuti si Yael at maghapon yan sa labas. Kung anu-anong germs at dumi ang nasagap nyan.

Me: OMG! I-sterilize daw ang baby ko!

Anecdotes of a grandmother on first Facebook

October 2, 2015

Someone is just too giddy it shows. Just look at her face.  She is learning Facebook and her  12-year old grandson is helping her add friends.

Anecdotes of a grandmother on hit him harder

December 9, 2010

Firstborn’s aggressiveness is very much present during his metal Beyblade fight with his brothers. But that same aggressiveness disappears during a real mano-mano.

Today, I have learned that my Firstborn son was being bullied in school. His bigger classmate (my son is taller, but the evil classmate looks bigger because he is fat) would get his pencil and other school supplies without permission.

One PE day, my son was changing from his PE uniform to his daily uniform.  The fat classmate suddenly grabbed Firstborn’s jogging pants, waved it in the air, and tossed it in the air like a rag doll.   The wicked classmate later picked the jogging pants up and ran.

Later that night, my mom asked Firstborn where his jogging pants were. Firstborn had nothing to say until the insistent grandmother managed to force him to talk.

And that was how mother learned of the bullying incident.

She advised firstborn to punch his classmate in the stomach.  My son rebutted and said that Justin (the name of the rude boy) hits harder and it hurts like hell.

And that was how mother learned that an eight-year-old bully had punched our eight-year-old boy in the stomach and it did hurt our Firstborn.

Upon learning of the punching incident,  my mom hurriedly scheduled a date with the teacher and guidance counselor.  She will also look for the jogging pants and the Justin boy.

Though I was not present at the meeting, I could vividly picture how the meeting transpired.   Mother has always been there for me when she feels I am undermined.  I remember a few office mates would call her Annabelle Rama because of her sharp tongue.

Anecdotes of a grandmother on riding car with her

October 17, 2013

What would be the consequence of going home with your 58-year old mother doing the driving?   And that means you are helplessly sitting on the passenger coach just beside the driver.

Let me tell you my story.

On our way home,  I turned the television on to watch TV patrol.   Ted Failon was making a roundup of that night’s news.

Ted Failon:  Pinoy’s satisfactory rating,  Bumaba!

And here came my mother’s rather quick comment.

Mother :  Dapat Lang.  Yang sa pork barrel , di nya mapakulong.  Wala ring syang magawa! 

Ted Failon:  SSS executives,  isosoli ang milyon-milyong bonus. 

And again was my mother’s irritated and somehow in-the-mood-to-look-for-a-fight tone–

Mother:  Dapat lang.  Ang kakapal ng mga mukha nyo.  Ang daming di makaclaim ng mga pension at loan tapos kayo bobonus ng milyon! 

Ted Failon:  Kilalanin! Sino ang highest paying taxpayer ng taon. 

And as expected,  here again, was my mother’s loud voice.

Mother:  Naku, sino kaya un?  A,  baka ako.  Ihihihi. 

That’s my mother and she really made my gloomy day so bright.  Even outside was gloomy but she painted the sky with a rainbow with her funny rantings.

    Hahaha! I can’t stop laughing. Your mommy is too funny! Especially the tax part. Her wisdom clearly showed though when she learned about the bullying incident. I wonder how will my mom react when she meets my daughter. She’s starting to talk now and it has been almost a year since they last saw each other. I’ll be extra observant and probably share some anecdotes too if I catch anything. Great read! Really heartwarming!

    Funny mom! We are lucky to have moms who are always there for us, specially for our kids! I have my mom always in the house to assist and even my mom in law and they are my bestfriends! They are funny, and happy people whom i knew i can really trust. And they give the most controversial advice that could mean a joke for us a lot of times.. hahaha

    Hahaha! Kakatuwa naman mom mo. 🙂 But I especially love na sya talaga pa ang pumunta sa school to resolve the bullying incident of your son. That really shows a lot of love for her grandson. 🙂 You’re all blessed to have her.

    HAHAHA! Funny and anecdotes mo talaga. Nakakatuwa si lola. It’s nice that you write it like this, somehow, there were moments na hindi nakakatuwa when it was happening, pero ngayong kwento na lang ito, nakakatawa.

    By the way, your boy is okay naman. Bullied man before but he is fine. 🙂

    I missed reading your anecdotes! I haven’t been able to blog hop for quite a while. Maybe school won me over the other side of myself. Hahaha! This is really lifting my mood especially the punching part. I was only able to be with my grandmother for just a while. We weren’t that close but I do quite remember that she taught me some subjects because she was a teacher. Those were the days. Surely, your mom is such a great mom!

    Before, I really can’t really relate much on motherhood. But now that I’m a new mom, I can so relate to this. My MIL also loves everything about my son (his first grandchild) so she also created a Fb account and saved and upload videos of my son. But I really laughed harder on sterilizing your baby. Granny’s so cute!

    That is so brave and caring of your mom. Your kids are lucky to grow under her observation. And children can withdraw to a shell if not monitored well.

    Oh! Your mother is really thoughtful and caring for your children, it is then nothing compares to the love that a grandmother gives to her grandchildren. This made me think of my grandmother who happens to be loving and would always protect me when I was a kiddo even until now that I’m old..

.

That's my little man, and seriously, he never tires hugging me any time of the day.  If only I've counted the times he hugs me in a day; perhaps it would be about 30 times or more.  That plenty!
.

Maybe, a hug gives our boy a soothing effect and reassures him of his parent's affection.  He also attempts to communicate a need after giving his mother a hug and kiss, and that is "dede." There are also times he embraces because he just loves to. .

Indeed, every hug has a story to tell, and with  Downy Premium Parfum, we are more confident of receiving and giving the same warm hug.  And its long-lasting fragrance all the more makes hugs more special. .

Of course, we only use Nestlé All-Purpose Cream, our perfect cooking partner to create only the creamiest buko pandan. .

We have no plans of stopping anytime soonest, unless our two young ones decided to do so.  Our milk has been their primary source of  nutrition when they were still babies.  Now, it continues to help protect our sons against infection and disease.  The calcium and iron in our milk are also more easily absorbed by our two children, giving them the added nutrients they need.  And we are just so grateful that we have a partner in  @vpharmaph for all the MEGA-MALUNGGAY we had and continuously take. More than the healthy dose of natural vitamins like calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamin C we get from each capsule, Mega-Malunggay is proven to be a great galactagogue for lactating moms like me. .

So happy to be part of #VpharmaBrandAmbassadors2020. Excited what 2020 will bring, but we see more breastfeeding still. We also look forward to exploring #VpharmapH 's other quality products.  And we hope you are as excited as we are for 2020.
