My mom was reading the newspaper one day when my three-year-old niece Julia decided to get involved.


Julia:   (Pointing at a picture with its accompanying story.)  Mama, basahin mo 'tong d'yaryo.

Mama:  Ay, di ko mababasa 'yan, mamaya na.

J:  Bakit?

M:  Wala kasi akong salamin.

J:  Yung salamin ko na lang (her Tweetie Bird sunglasses) 'pakuha mo, at ako na lang babasa!

Julia:  (Pointing at an article's photograph) Mama, can you read the paper for me?
Mama:  I can't right now.  I'll do it later.
J:  Why not?
M:  I don't have my eyeglasses.
J:  (Thinking of her Tweetie Bird sunglasses)  What about my eyeglasses? Go get it and I'll read this myself.
