BAD TRIP 11: Out of the mouths of babes....
My six-year-old niece went up to me and asked: “Tito Miki, ano ang trabaho mo?”
I was stumped. How do you explain to a six-year-old that I am in fact in community development work? If I had been a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or teacher, things would have been simpler.
Caught unprepared, I mumbled rather vaguely: “Ah, kuwan… tumutulong ako sa mga mahihirap!”
Bwelta ang bolinggit: “Bakit?”
Ako: “Para gumanda ang buhay nila. Para sila yumaman.”
Bolinggit: “Eh bakit ikaw, hindi?”
Oo nga naman.
